Holmegaard Carnaby Vase, Per Lütken Ruby Red Cased Glass | Danish Modern

Scandinavian Modern Icon.

A stunning ruby-red opaline vase from the celebrated Carnaby series by Holmegaard, designed by Per Lütken in the late 1960s.

Hand-blown in cased glass, the piece features a luminous ruby exterior layered over a soft white opal interior. The double-layer technique creates a glowing depth of colour, shifting beautifully with the light.

The sculptural, rounded “mushroom” silhouette is bold yet balanced — a perfect example of Danish modern glass design where simplicity meets warmth.

Compact in size yet visually powerful, this piece works beautifully as a decorative object on its own or styled with a single stem.

A true collectible from Denmark’s golden era of glassmaking.
