Holmegaard 'Princess' Champagne / Cocktail Glass

This is an elegant mid-century modern champagne or cocktail glass, specifically the 'Princess' model designed by Bent Severin for Holmegaard of Denmark, dating to circa 1957. The stemware piece is hand-blown from high-quality clear lead crystal, showcasing a distinctive silhouette. It features a wide, shallow bowl that transitions into a long, tapered hollow stem. A signature characteristic of this design is the controlled teardrop air bubble trapped within the base of the stem, indicative of expert craftsmanship. The piece stands on a flat, circular foot connected by a discreet wafer-like join. Physically, the glass exhibits high clarity and a brilliant refractive quality. There are no visible chips, cracks, or flea bites on the rim or base, suggesting it has been well-maintained. While no etched signature is visible in this view, this series is a recognized classic of Danish glass design. The construction is sleek and minimalist, reflecting the Scandinavian design ethos of the late 1950s and 1960s where form and function are balanced with subtle artistic elements.
