This is a LARGE Vintage Holmegaard Per Lutken Art Glass Bowl. Per Lütken was a leading Danish glass designer who worked with the Holmegaard glassworks. This bowl is from the Rose of Africa series created for the Living Arts exhibition in South Africa in 1982, and is inspired by the Protea – the country’s national wildflower. The bowl is blown in clear glass, with colored glass chips placed on the partially shaped mass of molten glass. The chips fuse with the clear glass form, creating organically shaped colored fields in the body of the glass – the petals of the flower. A Bowl from this series is in the collection of the National Gallery of Victoria, Melbourne Australia. It retains its original paper label and measures approximately 7 1/2 inches in height and 7 1/4 inches in diameter. Its in excellent condition, no chips cracks or damage. Please see photos and feel free to ask any questions, thanks!
