Also known as
Per Lutken
Per Lütken (1916–1998) was a Danish glass designer and glassmaker whose career became closely identified with Holmegaard Glass Factory. He joined Holmegaard in 1942 and remained its artistic director and a prolific designer until his death in 1998. Collected biographical sources credit his Holmegaard career with more than 3,000 glass designs. His work belongs to the broader history of twentieth-century Danish industrial design and glassmaking, although the available source pack does not document a specific formal movement for him. Collectors encounter Lütken primarily through glass objects associated with Holmegaard, where design authorship was realized through collaboration with skilled glassworkers. His long tenure and extensive output mean that identification should consider the individual object's form, date, markings, production context, and relationship to documented designs rather than relying on the designer's name alone.

Common works and media
Collectors commonly encounter Per Lütken through twentieth-century glass and glassware associated with Holmegaard Glass Factory. The available sources support glass as his principal medium and describe a large design output, but they do not provide a dependable catalogue of named series or object types. For appraisal purposes, each object should be recorded by its dimensions, form, markings, condition, presumed date, and any documented connection to Holmegaard or a published Lütken design.
Market and appraisal context
Per Lütken's auction market should be assessed object by object. Useful comparisons match the medium, dimensions, date, production period, condition, markings, attribution, and provenance as closely as possible. Signatures or inscriptions should be examined alongside construction and documented Holmegaard references rather than treated as conclusive by themselves. Condition issues, restoration, surface wear, and differences between otherwise related designs can affect comparability. Recent public sales can provide context, but they do not establish a guaranteed value: private transactions, incomplete feeds, changing attributions, and differences in reported fees may alter the picture. Broad market averages are therefore less informative than a group of closely related, well-documented glass objects.
Auction categories and appraisal factors
Common auction categories
- Decorative art and editions
- Glass and glassware
Value drivers
- Medium, dimensions, date, and period within Lütken's career
- Condition, restoration history, and surface quality
- Signature, inscriptions, and attribution confidence
- Provenance, exhibition history, and catalogue references
- Recent comparable auction sales for closely related objects
Appraisal caveats
- Public auction records are a starting point rather than a final appraisal.
- Private sales, incomplete auction feeds, and later attribution changes may not be represented.
- The existing market page uses broad auction-category labels that should not be treated as a precise catalogue of Lütken's glass production.
- Reported auction totals may include buyer premiums or fees, so comparable results should be checked on a like-for-like basis.
