The three pieces feature the model's characteristic silhouette: a cylindrical body with rounded shoulders, extending into a long, straight neck ending in a wide, flared lip.

The set comprises two amethyst purple vases and one blue vase.
All three vases come from the same set of Holmegaard pieces, several of which still retained their original labels, allowing for the certain identification of this series as an Otto Brauer production for Holmegaard.

The slightly transparent glass reveals, depending on the light, nuances ranging from smoky purple to mauve for the two amethyst vases, and from light blue to a deeper blue for the third. Technical Details
