Holmegaard 7 piece smokey grey BROKSØ bowls set, designed in 1938 by E J Bang*, Denmark. 
Vintage, 1950's Danish glass tableware.

When designer Jacob Eiler Bang began his work at Holmegaard in 1925, he was very much influenced by the ideologies behind modernistic architecture and design of the interwar period. 
In designing glass he focused on the creation of "appropriate, strong, inexpensive and beautiful" glass for the general public and not for the elite. For this purpose, he designed a few press glass series of  which best known is BROKSØ from 1938. By his own account BROKSØ was one of the designs that best expressed his artistic credo.

In designing BROKSØ, Bang was inspired by BÖLGEBLICK  created by the Finnish designer Aino Aalto (1894-1949) in 1932.

This set consists of 1 large and 6 small smokey grey thick pressed glass bowls with graduated circles around the outside of the bowls. The inside of the bowls are smooth. The concentric circles meant to imitate the circles created by a stone thrown into a lake.
In production until 1965.
