Bergs Potter Københavner Glass Vase

The Københavner Glass Vase takes the tapered silhouette of the Københavner pot and renders it entirely in clear glass, made in partnership with a glass artisan workshop with over a century of expertise. The form is immediately recognisable: a wide, flared opening that narrows into a weighted base, with the same balanced proportions as the terracotta original. The glass is clear and thick-walled, giving it a solid presence on a table without competing with the flowers inside. At 15 cm / 5.9 in in diameter, the opening is generous enough to hold a full bouquet without clips or frogs. This is a cut flower vase with no drainage hole. The wide-mouthed opening makes it well suited for:

• Large, loose bouquets of tulips, dahlias, or mixed stems where the wide neck allows stems to spread naturally without bunching
• Structured arrangements of gladioli, delphiniums, or tall seasonal flowers that need a stable, heavy base to stay upright
• A single large-headed bloom like a hydrangea or peony displayed on its own, where the clear glass shows the full length of the stem as part of the composition
• It sits well as a centrepiece on a dining table or console, and the transparent body works with any colour palette.

The Københavner Vase is a glass interpretation of the Københavner pot, designed by Steffen Berg and shaped by the same royal heritage that inspired the original terracotta form in 1860. Produced in collaboration with a century-old glass workshop, it brings the same proportions and considered design into a new material, built for cut flowers rather than planted arrangements.

From the Crafters:

The Københavner Vase is a natural progression of Bergs Potter’s iconic Københavner pot. Designed by the second generation of Bergs, Steffen Berg, it draws inspiration from the majestic pottery made for the Royal Danish Palace of Fredensborg in 1860. Born in conjunction with a glass artisan workshop with a century of expertise, this vase is a tribute to accuracy and artistry. The Københavner Vase combines Bergs Potter’s design heritage with a new material blending royal pottery and modern glasswork.
