This exquisite vintage Danish glass pitcher showcases early-to-mid 20th-century Scandinavian craftsmanship, featuring a clear bulbous body wheel-etched with a delicate grape vine motif. The translucent glass body creates a bold contrast against the applied handle and circular footed base, both crafted from opaque black glass (traditionally known as hyalite glass). The mouth-blown construction is highlighted by a finished pontil mark on the underside.
Standing 22 cm high, this piece blends functional utility with Art Deco elegance. Ideal for collectors of antique Scandinavian glassware or mid-century barware, it makes a refined addition to any collection or display.
Manufacturer: Kastrup Glasværk (or Holmegaard), Denmark.
During the 1930s, major Danish glassworks like Kastrup and Holmegaard frequently produced table glass featuring black hyalite accents paired with wheel-etched botanical and grape patterns.
While these unsigned pieces were produced in small artisanal batches, the combination of hand-blown clear glass, pontil-finished bases, black hyalite details, and etched vine motifs is characteristic of Kastrup Glasværk's Art Deco lines, which were often designed in collaboration with pioneer designers like Jacob E. Bang during his influence on Danish functionalism.
