Duca - Drinking service (6) - Sergel - Crystal

Set of 6 water goblets, height 18 cm x diameter 10.9 cm. The producer is a well-known Swedish brand specialized in tableware, crockery and interior design, crystal: Duka, from the Sergel series (inspired/designed with references to the Swedish artist and sculptor Johan Tobias Sergel). Year of foundation: 1962. History: Born from the union of 16 independent Swedish shops specializing in porcelain, glass and household articles (the oldest had been opened in 1920 in Linköping by Hjalmar Blomkvist). Description: The transparent, brilliantly crystal glass blown by mouth is an elegant conical goblet. The cup has a conical, elongated goblet form, supported by a stem worked with a central knot (knobbed stem) and a flat circular base. The distinguishing feature is the gold/brass-engraved and decorated frieze along the upper band of the cup, depicting festoons, stylized drapery, ribbons and laurel garlands in a strictly neoclassical taste. Origin of the decoration: The design is inspired by neoclassical friezes and motifs created by the Swedish court sculptor and artist Johan Tobias Sergel (1740–1814), from whom the series takes its name.
