Hyacinth and Bulb Vases from Scandinavia

Different colours of a model of the Danish glassworks Holmegaard/Kastrup. The vase has an oval form and is meant to be placed between two window panes. This group is no longer in my possession and is now at the beautiful botanical garden: Arboretum Kalmthout in Belgium.
