Model number 17792 captivates with its deep green hue, which develops a fascinating depth of color depending on the light. Typical of Lütken's designs is the organic, almost soft form, which makes the heavy material of glass appear light and vibrant. The object's authenticity is confirmed by the engraving on the base, which bears both the manufacturer's name, Holmegaard, and the master's signature. The bowl shows slight signs of wear in the glass, which are considered authentic patina for an original piece from this era. These subtle marks tell the story of the object and in no way detract from the sculptural effect of this Danish art glass. An elegant object of Scandinavian modernism, it perfectly integrates Holmegaard's craftsmanship and Per Lütken's vision into any living space. See less
