ICONIC DANISH MODERN DESIGN

Presenting a beautiful pair of vintage Holmegaard Princess white wine glasses, designed by Bent Severin for Holmegaard, Denmark. Introduced in 1957, the Princess range has become an enduring icon of Scandinavian Modern design, admired for its sculptural simplicity, refined proportions and exceptional functionality. Each glass features a gracefully rounded bowl rising from an elegant conical stem enclosing Holmegaard's signature suspended teardrop-shaped controlled air bubble — a distinctive detail that has become synonymous with this celebrated design.

Beautifully balanced in the hand and an absolute pleasure to use, they embody the Scandinavian philosophy that everyday objects should be both practical and beautiful. Originally catalogued by Holmegaard as white wine glasses, their modest 100–125ml capacity reflects the refined European wine service of the period. Whether enjoyed for white wine, dessert wines or aperitifs, this timeless design remains as stylish and relevant today as when it was first introduced.
