Duca - Drinking service (6) - Sergel - Crystal

Set of 6 water goblets, height 18 cm and diameter 10.9 cm. The producer is a well-known Swedish brand specializing in tableware, dinnerware and interior design glassware: Duka, from the Sergel series (inspired/designed with references to the Swedish artist and sculptor Johan Tobias Sergel). Founded: 1962. History: It originated from the merger of 16 independent Swedish shops specializing in porcelain, glassware and home accessories (the oldest of which had opened in 1920 in Linköping by Hjalmar Blomkvist). Description: The bright, clear mouth-blown crystal glass is an elegant conical goblet. The bowl has a slender conical shape, supported by a stem worked with a central knot (knob stem) and a flat circular base. The distinguishing feature is the incised gold/bronze-decorated frieze along the upper band of the bowl, depicting garlands, stylized drapery, ribbons and laurel wreaths in a strictly neoclassical taste. Origin of the decoration: The design is inspired by the neoclassical friezes and motifs created by the Swedish court sculptor and artist Johan Tobias Sergel (1740–1814), from whom the series takes its name.
