Know before you buy
Yes, these are authentic 1960s designs by Jens Quistgaard for Dansk. Each piece is clearly marked 'Dansk Designs Ltd IHQ' to verify its provenance.
Yes, their compact size and durable pressed glass construction make them ideal for small succulents or air plants. Please note that they do not have drainage holes, so it is best to use them as decorative cachepots.
These pieces are in excellent vintage condition. They have been inspected and are free of any chips, cracks, or significant surface damage.
With a width of 6.8 cm, these are best suited for tea lights or small votive candles rather than standard taper candles. Their shallow 3.5 cm height provides a stable base for these types of candles.
We recommend hand washing them with mild soap and warm water. Avoid using harsh abrasives or the dishwasher, as this will help preserve the clarity and integrity of the vintage glass.
