It's stunning! I really like her Carneval range: the decanter is amazing!
Thanks vetraio! Mmmm, that bottle! It's one of the pieces I'd like to get :)
Thanks Scandinavian ;) I'm glad you like my latest items uploaded. I do hope you enjoyed your trip
Well, I had never seen one till I bought it :) I had seen some picture but never one for sale. I was so happy when I found and bought it!
Hi. Check out this site for the other colour variations, The glasses look wonderful too! There's a punch set. But your vase shape is the tops!

Thanks vetraio. I know Peter Harder's site... we could say it's my "refference book" for Danish glass :) The punch bowl is something I'd like to get sometime... so huge!
I've got a couple of really big designs from Holmegaard... simply amazing! The funny thing is I started collecting small ones, but as soon as I got the first huge one I felt in love with them :)
It is displayed by the Sidse Werner yellow Hjertevas (http://www.collectorsweekly.com/stories/39156-hjertevas-sidse-werner-holmegaard-197?in=user) and against the living room curtains, so the light passes through both of them... the look of them both together is amazing! :)
Thanks Scandi! :) they do look great together... I'll take that picture too, haha
