Drinking service (19) - Crystal - Copy, Holmegaard, Doyen

For the connoisseur of high-quality international mid-century design and the passionate UV collector: an exceptional, 19-piece 'Kopstoot' café collection of museum quality.

This thematic top lot brings the nostalgic café tradition to life (strong beers with characterful tasting glasses beside them) and combines this with the absolute masterpieces from Dutch, Danish, and Belgian glass history from the Art Deco period (1930s/1940s).
A unique showpiece for a high-end home bar, man cave or in the UV display cabinet.

The International Design Trio – Copier, Holmegaard & Doyen: The absolute crown jewels in this lot are the rare glasses with the jet-black elements, originating from the three great powers of North European glass art:

Magical Light Spectacle (High-Manganese & Silhouette-Effect): During the photo session under a 365nm UV lamp, these historic glasses, together with the beautiful Belgian beer glasses, transform into a fabulous spectacle. Thanks to the exceptionally high historical manga content in the vintage glassware, the cups glow intensely and bright green. For the Copier-, Holmegaard- and Doyen-glasses, a crazy Art Deco effect emerges: the cups glow bright green while the black elements remain jet-black, dark silhouettes in the background!
