ABOUT PRODUCTID 32098
This vintage glass bowl/ashtray, produced by the renowned Danish manufacturer Holmegaard in the 1960s, exemplifies Scandinavian craftsmanship where functionality meets refined simplicity. The deep, saturated ruby red, enriched with warm undertones, flows through transparent glass, creating rich reflections and subtle gradients of light. Its organic form—smoothly rounded edges and a single, pronounced notch on the rim—emphasizes a minimalist character and references mid-century modern style. The thick, substantial glass, measuring approximately 11 cm in diameter and 5 cm in height, features a glossy, smooth surface, reflecting the high quality typical of Holmegaard. The piece is in very good condition, with no damage, chips, or cracks, and only minimal signs of age-appropriate wear. This small bowl could tell the story of everyday Nordic life in the 1960s, when glass—a seemingly simple material—became a carrier of light and colour in home interiors. Soft light passes through its transparent walls, and the rich red hue seems to retain the energy of past conversations over coffee and evening gatherings in Danish living rooms. The organic shape and distinctive notch speak of practicality, as well as an appreciation for detail that guides the eye without dominating it. It may be used as an ashtray or a small bowl for trinkets, candies, or jewellery. Placed on a coffee table alongside era ceramics or minimalist candleholders, it will highlight the character of a mid-century modern or Scandinavian minimalist interior. It would also suit more eclectic arrangements—paired with natural wood, light textiles, or glass in contrasting tones. The listed price refers to a single piece.
