Jacob Eiler Bang for Holmegaard, Karaffel, Snapsekone, Female Decanter
Denmark, circa 1930

This exceptional Art Deco glass decanter, designed by Jacob Eiler Bang for Holmegaard around 1930, is a museum-worthy piece that captures the essence of early 20th-century design. Bang, whose talent was first recognized at the 1925 Paris Exhibition, was invited by Holmegaard's director, K. Riis-Hansen, to join the renowned glassworks. His work, influenced by the Bauhaus and Wiener Werkstatte design schools, showcases his innovative approach to glass art.

The "Snapsekone" decanter is a playful yet sophisticated piece, featuring a female figure with her hands on her hips, rendered in vibrant enameled clear glass. The caricatured design is both whimsical and striking, making it a standout example of Art Deco /Moderne style. The decanter is 10.5 inches high, 4.5 inches wide, and 3 inches deep, with a removable head stopper that adds to its charm and functionality. This piece is not only a stunning display of workmanship but also a functional item ready to be used and admired in any setting. Its combination of historical significance, artistic merit, and practical design makes it a valuable addition to any collection.
