Provenance & Background Information
For the piece shown in every photo- written in 2021
A strong investment piece and great addition to any mid-century glass collection. This VINTAGE piece in the Holmegaard Carnaby style is about 50 years old and been very well made. Done by hand, I love the how the purple colour intensifies in the base and becomes less intense as it gets wider in the hooped sections. The Carnaby series, designed by Per Lütken and Christer Holmgren in 1968, included a range of stunning shapes that had a white (opal) inner casing and a coloured glass casing on the outside. This piece was inspired by these designs and would sit proudly amongst Carnaby pieces. Unfortunately I have no Carnaby pieces at the moment to show this- Carnaby pieces are so hard to get these days (!) Prices have gone through the roof in the last 10 years. They just keep getting more expensive to get and I find myself missing out in auctions on any that I decide I want.
This piece was made BY HAND and is definitely VINTAGE- that’s all I conclusively know about it (and that I love it!). It’s very likely to be European- I’d say it’s Swedish but it could be Japanese though ? The craftsmanship is incredible- these hooped pieces are not easy to make and the white casing adds to the difficulty. Pieces like this are very rare (particularly in Australia where they’re about 50 times rarer than Europe). I got this from a source in the UK- these were never retailed in Australia back in the day.
Many homewares last a few years or even just one season before ending up as landfill- art glass pieces with a inner-white casing have been a design sensation that’s been in vogue for over 5 decades now (written in 2021). Vintage pieces (that have been made well) only become more valued with each changing of hands and the passing of time. There are very few better ways to invest in your home and reduce landfill.

This vintage piece is in excellent condition for its age with no noticeable damage to report at all. NO cracks, NO chips, NO repairs. It presents extremely well. This piece is hand-made and as such is not absolutely "perfect" but is as close to perfect as you’ll find for a hand-made piece of glass. The piece has very minor signs of use but nothing that warrants a specific mention. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Read my 1200+ ebay feedback comments (ALL for vintage design SALES)- 100 or so are from repeat customers. This is your guarantee that I strive to describe all my items as accurately as I can and I will not stock items unless they are in excellent condition.
PICK-UP . . . from 30 or 40 minutes North of BRISBANE city is accepted but postage is preferred as my home is hard to find. Because of this I will nominate a friend or family member for you to collect the item from if you need collection. Pick-up in person must be worked out prior to purchase- thank you. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ POSTAGE is offered internationally. All our Decorative Arts pieces are delivered through AUSTRALIA POST. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ POSTAGE ESTIMATES. . . . ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ To BRISBANE- most of our pieces cost $15 - $18 to send. . . To SYDNEY or MELBOURNE- Small Vase- around $20 - $23, Medium Vase- around $20 - $25, Large Vase- around $24 - $30. Let us know if you need an EXACT COST for postage prior to purchase. The above postage estimates include $2.95 for a signature on delivery. . . INSURANCE against being lost or broken in transit up to the value of $200 is included in the estimates above. If your vase is cheaper or more expensive than $200 this will effect your postage fee slightly. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ A BOXING FEE of $3.00 is included in the fee above to cover the cost of searching for and storing used packing materials. With the millions of cardboard boxes that end up as landfill every year we don’t believe in supporting the manufacture of boxes for post. Instead of buying new boxes and packing materials and passing this cost onto our customers we spend considerable time sourcing used boxes and then fashioning boxes to fit each item. We do the same for bubble-wrap and foam pieces. This requires a large investment of time, energy, ingenuity, organization and storage space- it is much easier and cheaper to buy new packing materials but I can’t justify taking the easy way out when so much packing material ends up polluting our earth. Our $3.00 charge does little to pay for the time (and storage) needed do this and to pack your item (there is also the time needed to get your package to the post office). This is something we’re happy to do for our customers and the environment. We appreciate your support in this area.
