Duca - Drinking service (6) - Sergel - Crystal

Set of 6 wine glasses, 16.2 cm high x 9.3 cm in diameter. The manufacturer is Duka, a well-known Swedish brand specializing in tableware, home furnishings and interior design, and glassware. The glasses are from the Sergel collection (inspired by and designed with references to the Swedish artist and sculptor Johan Tobias Sergel). Founded in 1962. History: The company was formed by the merger of 16 independent Swedish shops specializing in porcelain, glassware and home goods. The oldest had opened in Linköping in 1920, founded by Hjalmar Blomkvist. Description: This brilliantly clear, mouth-blown crystal glass is an elegant conical goblet. The bowl has a slender, conical shape and is supported by a stem with a central knop and a flat circular foot. Its distinctive feature is the engraved gold/bronze decoration running around the upper part of the bowl, depicting swags, stylized drapery, bows and laurel garlands in a distinctly Neoclassical style. Decoration: The design is inspired by the Neoclassical friezes and motifs created by the Swedish sculptor and court artist Johan Tobias Sergel (1740–1814), after whom the collection is named.
