Per Lütken for Holmegaard Smoke Vase | Danish Modern Art Glass 1960's
Smoke show, Scandinavian edition…
This Holmegaard Smoke vase is a masterclass in geometry and gravity. A wide, open mouth tapers down to a heavy base, punctuated by that signature internal bubble catching the light just right. It’s understated, but only in that distinctively confident Danish way.
Per Lütken’s designs for Holmegaard are some of the most essential pieces of 20th-century Scandinavian Modern glass, and this Smoke conical vase stands out as a highlight of his legacy. The Smoke colorway added an atmospheric depth to Holmegaard’s line. A gray-green translucency that sharpens the lines of Lütken’s forms while softening their overall visual impact.

Black & Gold Condition Guide
✨ We believe every piece tells a story — here’s how we describe the chapters they’ve lived so far:
Mint / Like New Practically time-traveled. Looks as though it’s never been used. Crisp, clean, and flawless.
Excellent Well-preserved with only the most minor signs of age (think a faint scratch or two, visible only if you squint). Structurally sound and show-stopping.
Very Good Loved and cared for. Some small signs of wear — maybe light surface marks, gentle fading, or a touch of patina — but nothing that distracts from its beauty or function.
Good Has earned its character. Noticeable wear such as scratches, discoloration, or finish loss, all consistent with age and use. Still fully functional and fabulous.
Well-Loved / As-Is This one has stories to tell. Expect visible flaws or wear (chips, cracks, missing parts), but still worthy for display, repurposing, or as a collector’s gem.
