Mid-Century Modern Holmegaard 'Stub' Style Stemmed Glass

This item is a clear, blown-glass drinking vessel, characterized by its distinctive Mid-Century Modern aesthetic. The glass features a tall, cylindrical bowl with straight vertical sides and a subtly rounded base. It is supported by a very short, thick cylindrical stem that transitions into a heavy, flat square base. The construction appears to be machine-blown or mold-blown, typical of mass-produced Scandinavian design from the mid-20th century. This specific silhouette is highly reminiscent of the 'Stub' glass series originally designed by Grethe Meyer and Ibi Trier Mørch for Kastrup Glasværk (later Holmegaard) in the late 1950s. The glass measures approximately 4 to 5 inches in height and is notable for its stackable design, which was a revolutionary space-saving feature of its time. The glass is transparent with high clarity and lacks any decorative etchings or patterns, emphasizing a minimalist form-follows-function philosophy. The condition appears excellent with no visible chips, cracks, or clouding. There are no obvious maker's marks visible in the image, which is common for this type of glassware that often originally utilized paper labels. The square base provides significant stability and a weighted feel, indicating quality craftsmanship despite its utilitarian design.
