In addition to the Holmegaard vases, here are some Holmegaard balls.

hate to inform you sweetie; but it appears you have far exceeded the fan stage and are actually obsessed! The only cure is to get more. I love the vivid colors and simple geometry.
Thanks for the warning.... I must say that is has become more difficult to find good and affordable glass from the 60's and 70's as it became fashionable with pictures in magazines as Wallpaper, etc. But still, I'm only a Holmegaard fan. I have to admit I am a collector too, but only of Modern and Contemporary Art and Photobooks.
You can deny it till your face turns blue...YOU ARE A COLLECTOR.... lol
Love the colors, the shapes, the shine...sooo pretty!
First: Archives this is great.
