Description
A set of three small smoke (retro greeny/grey) vintage shot glasses in the ‘Canada’ design by Per Lutken for Holmegaard, Denmark.
The design dates from 1955, and they were in production until 1990.
These could date from any time from the 1950s to 1980s, but most likely to be 60s/70s vintage.
‘Canada’ is a Danish Modern classic design.
The smoke version of Canada is often referred to as Scanada because the original boxes used S for smoke as a prefix before ‘Canada’.
These are the smallest size Canada glasses – the ‘8.2cm snapsglas’.
Snaps in Denmark is usually a strong spirit called Akvavit or Cordial (liqueur).
Apx 1 oz size, so perfect for stronger smaller single shots.
They are all a tad over 8cm tall.
Unsigned.
Being handmade they vary very slightly, see photos.
Good usable examples – great to add to a set.
