Ole drinking glasses - pair - des. Ole Jensen for Royal Copenhagen (made by Holmegaard)

Ole Jensen was tasked to create a range of tableware for Royal Copenhagen. The Ole range was a marked step away from the more classic designs for which Royal Copenhagen were known. He brought a sense of lightness, optimism and above all fun to the table.

This range has been sadly discontinued but we are very pleased to be able to offer the remaining few pieces for sale.

Meet the manufacturer

Juliane Marie, widow of King Frederik V, was known as a modern queen and a strong supporter of the country. It was the task of the reigning monarch to safeguard the country’s economic health with the development of domestic products and services. Her greatest legacy was founding the Royal Danish Porcelain Factor y in 1775.

Since 1775, every piece of porcelain that has left Royal Copenhagen carries its factory marks; the three waves, the royal crown and the painter's mark. These are symbols of authenticity, the royal connection and the mark of handcraftsmanship. The crown symbolises Royal Copenhagen's beginnings in the hands of the entrepreneurial monarchy. The waves symbolise Denmark's three most important bodies of water; the Sound, the Great Belt and the Little Belt.

These glasses are made by Danish glassworks Holmegaard who were previously owned by Royal Copenhagen.
