Holmegaard Glass Factory
History
The home of famous Holmegaard Glassworks products is located in Fensmark (part of Holmegaard). The company got its start in 1823 when Count Christian Danneskjold-Samse petitioned the Danish king for permission to build a glassworks at Holmegaard Mose ("Holmegaard Bog"). He died before permission was granted. But after his death when permission was finally received his widow, Countess Henriette Danneskjold-Samse pursued the project and began production in 1825 of green bottles, moving on to table-glass within its first decade.
Much of its early work was derivative and inconsequential, but between the 1930s and 1980s its fortunes were transformed by the designs of Jacob E. Bang (1899-1965), Per Ltken (1916-98), and Bang's son, Michael (1944-2002).
Today the company is known for its high-quality products of Danish design.
The Ltken Era
Danish glassmaker Per Ltken worked at Holmegaard from 1942 until his death in 1998, creating some of the factory's finest pieces and all-time classics, such as the "Idelle" series, the "Ships glasses" and the "Provence" bowls.
The work of Per Ltken is still highly rated, especially throughout Scandinavia, and in Denmark and Sweden in particular.
The arrival of Ltken at Holmegaard marked a new beginning in the history of the factory, which once again bloomed after several years of suffering. His aesthetic creations, in timeless designs, did fit the fashion of the 1960s Denmark, and his creations became a great success throughout the decade and the 1970s.
