Back to Glass Encyclopedia Home
The Holmegaard Glass factory was built in 1825, founded by Countess Henriette Danneskiold-Samsøe. They made glass bottles at first, and then branched out into tableware in the 1830's. Holmegaard glass are probably best known for Michael Bang's Palet range (1968 - 1975), Per Lutken's Carnaby glass designs from 1968, and of course Otto Brauer's Gulvvase design in 1962.
