Holmegaard Klemt pinched decanter with ring stopper – Jacob E. Bang, Denmark, mid-20th century

Holmegaard Klemt pinched decanter with ring stopper – Danish design

A pinched decanter by Holmegaard, the Klemt model, designed by Jacob E. Bang. The bell-shaped decanter is made of clear, mouth-blown glass; the hot glass was pinched on four sides, creating deep dimples in the body. This makes the decanter sit well in the hand and makes the drink gurgle when pouring, just like Holmegaard’s famous kluk-kluk decanter (klukflaske). The solid stopper with an open ring as its grip has a ground, matt plug that fits the neck precisely.

Why we chose this piece

The ring stopper makes this decanter special: graphic, playful and very Scandinavian. It is functional design from the heyday of Danish glass, and a beautiful object on the table even when empty.

Style and interior

Suits a Scandinavian, mid-century modern or minimalist interior, on a bar, sideboard or open shelf. Lovely for water, wine, sherry or a homemade liqueur, or simply in the light on a windowsill.
