Holmegaard - Per Lutken designs

Hi there, Bought this at auction with some other Holmie stuff and thought, right, Per Lutken May green folded bowl, end of story. But when I turned it over the usual PL thingy and Holmeguaard name weren't there. Just #5 or #S. What the?! Can anyone tell me what this means? Thanks!
Cheers,
Mr. Roboto

Yup - it's Per Lütken for Holmegaard.

The bowl in this colourway is from the 1963 Majgrøn / May Green series, although the bowl itself was designed in 1958.

The signature, which is actually 'II S', denotes that it was a production second not good enough to retail - so it was probably sold on the cheap through the factory shop. Other known signatures for second production items are just 'II' on its own, or '2'.

I love these bowls - I've got a slightly chipped one that I use to keep my loose change in!

Thanks Nic,
My money was on a second as well. Tough to see why though. They must have secret x-ray vision!

Cylindrical vase designed by Per Lutken in 1958. Signed.

'Menuet' vase in production from 1955 to 1976 - this one dates to 1962. Signed.

The first vase is from the 'Labrador' series.

One of Paul's recent purchases ... Nic, could you please tell me which series it's from - is it 'Greenland'?

Yup. Grønland/Greenland - the smaller of two sizes (the next size up is VAST).

Thank you Nic :-) Paul said he found it lurking at the back of a shelf in a charity shop - it was priced cheaper than a hideous dog figurine that was stood in front of it!

Hello

The vase is signed Holmegaard Per Lutken, year 1954, approx 241 mm high (dirty..).





Would like to know the series please

Thanks

It's called 'Duckling'.

Thanks Nic

On the base of his famous beak vase.  The "PL" designates that it made by Per Lütken.

Rondo (see next post) vase in May Green colour, my favourite from Holmegaard   

'Rondo' vases are short, round, bubble-like vases. Your vase didn't have a name of its own.

Thanks Nic, Didn't mean to confuse anyone   I had read about it from a wrong source (the biggest seller of 20th century glass one ebay had it identified as "Rondo").

Famously, lots of people on eBay claim a load of old piffle.

Can anyone help identify this signature. Thank you

It's an "Hellas" vase by Per Lütken for Holmegaard, Denmark. The HG4 signature means it was produced in 1974.

Where do you see PL all i can read is" Holmegaard 19260"

The squiggle between the '19' and the '60 is a stylised monogram of PL.

Although it just means it was designed by him - not actually made by him personally.

I have this very heavy art glass vase which is signed but could be a various combination of letters - my first thought was IIS but could be ILS TLS RS OR PS!!!  Can anyone help me identify this one please?
