Anna von Lipa: Master of Glass
Anna von Lipa: The Artist Who Paints with Light
Some objects invite use; others invite wonder. Anna von Lipa’s glass does both. Designed in Denmark and mouth‑blown in the storied glassworks of Bohemia, each piece translates centuries of craft into modern forms that feel alive in the hand and luminous on the table. Collectors search for “Anna von Lipa artist” not simply because they want a beautiful jug or vase, but because they want to live with an object that carries a maker’s presence—that captures light, mood, and memory. At Trove Gallery, we are proud to present the Anna von Lipa collection, a curated edit of her most collectible, joy‑giving designs.
Though many fans affectionately refer to the line as “Anna von Lipa pottery,” this body of work is, in fact, masterful glass—hand‑formed, breath by breath, by skilled artisans. If you’re looking to buy Anna von Lipa pieces that bring color, texture, and softness to a room, you’re in exactly the right place.
Hobnail Icons: Tactile Craft for Everyday Celebrations
Few silhouettes announce “Anna von Lipa” as instantly as the hobnail jug—that constellation of raised glass beads that sparkles in sunlight and adds irresistible grip in hand. The timeless Paris Hobnail Jug ($202.00) is a perennial favorite for good reason: it serves water with ceremony, lemonade with levity, and peonies with sculptural presence. Choose it when you want one piece that does everything beautifully.
Color tells its own story in the Colored Handle Paris Hobnail Jug ($214.00), where a contrasting handle creates a charming, artisanal accent. For those who love a confetti of color—like confetti in slow motion—the Confetti Paris Hobnail Jug ($269.00) layers hand‑applied glass droplets in jubilant tones that read festive yet refined. Gilded glamour arrives in the Golden Handle Paris Hobnail Jug ($286.00), an heirloom‑in‑the‑making that feels at home on a grand table or a sunlit kitchen island.
Fans of vintage silhouettes will love the Alice Paris Hobnail Jug ($252.00). Its softened curves channel the grace of antique glassware while staying distinctly modern. Pair any of these jugs with luminous hobnail serveware to build a gathered, layered look: the Round Hobnail Blond Bowl ($233.00) and the versatile Hobnail Bowl ($158.00) lend a sculptural halo to fruit, salads, and seasonal florals.
For vertical drama, the Blonde Hobnail Vase ($160.00) captures stamens and stems in a column of light, while the Confetti Blonde Hobnail Vase ($236.00) adds an artisan’s painterly touch to every bouquet. Complete the tableau with texture-rich glassware: the Hobnail Short Glasses (set of 6) ($267.00) bring sparkle to spritzes and spirits, and the Hobnail Tall Glasses (set of 4) ($342.00) elongate the line of the table for water, iced tea, or highballs.
Color as Craft: Confetti and Marble Collections
Anna von Lipa’s command of color shines brightest in her Confetti and Marble series—each piece a study in movement and hue. The Confetti Carafe ($214.00) is a tone poem for morning juice or bedside water, its flecks of color looking like petals suspended in glass. For blooms, the Confetti Vase ($200.00) stages florals with painterly brilliance; even a few stems feel abundant. When you want the table to smile, reach for the Confetti Tumblers (set of 6) ($316.00) and watch them catch the evening light from every angle.
Marble pieces, by contrast, whisper rather than exclaim. The Marble Globe Vase ($244.00) is a pure sphere that turns a single hydrangea into a landscape; its swirling pattern softly veils and reveals stems like clouds across a sky. The gently elongated Marble Elipse Vase ($181.00) is elegant on mantels and console tables, framing tulips, branches, or dried grasses with ease. For a contemporary note at cocktail hour, the Marble Tumblers (set of 6) ($316.00) mingle smoky ribbons of color with clean silhouettes—quietly dramatic, instantly elevated.
One of the collection’s sleeper hits is the Squeeze Vase ($245.00), a sculptural cylinder indented at the waist as if gently pressed by hand. It’s a minimalist’s dream: an accent that reads both modern and human, perfect for a narrow shelf or a meditative entryway vignette.
Fluid Lines: Swirl, Spiral, and Diamond
If hobnail is texture you can touch, the Swirl, Spiral, and Diamond designs are motion you can see. The Swirl Jug ($208.00) seems to be perpetually in motion, its spiral ribs guiding the eye around a gentle curve. Pair it with the flower-forward Swirl Dahlia Vase ($200.00) for arrangements that fan and flourish naturally—the ribbing subtly supports stems while amplifying their gestures.
Like a well-cut dress, a great vase celebrates structure. The Swirl Elipse Vase ($181.00) elongates bouquets, elongates rooms, elongates moods. And the Swirl Oslo Vase ($184.00) brings Scandinavian restraint to Bohemian craft, making it an everyday staple that still feels special. Gather friends around a table set with the Swirl Dahlia Tumblers (set of 6) ($232.00) for afternoon spritzes, or reach for height and sparkle with the Swirl Dahlia Tall Glasses (set of 6) ($257.00) at dinner.
Craving geometry with a wink? The Diamond Jug ($208.00) reflects light in crisp facets, like a carafe crossed with a jewel. Meanwhile, the Spiral Jug ($208.00) and matching Spiral Tumblers (set of 6) ($232.00) trace clean helices around the glass—a subtle motif that plays beautifully with linen textures and ceramic glazes. These are the quiet showstoppers, the pieces that invite a second look and a lingering touch.
Sculptural Statements: Volcano, Meadows, and Frosty
Some designs feel elemental—born of earth, weather, and light. The Volcano series is one of them. The Volcano Jug ($306.00) offers a generous pour and a dramatic profile, while the Volcano Vase ($281.00) anchors a room with confident, sculptural weight. For scent and stillness, the Volcano Diffuser Vase ($183.00) nestles reeds to softly perfume your space; it’s a functional object that reads like art.
The Meadows series is a love letter to soft light. The Meadows Vase ($224.00) frames flowers with a pastoral calm, while the Meadows Diffuser Vase ($224.00) offers a gentle, everyday ritual. Round out the mood with the Meadows Tumblers (set of 6) ($367.00), whose hues evoke morning dew and late-afternoon sun.
For wintry elegance in any season, the Frosty trio distills light into a soft, velvety sheen. The Frosty Short Dahlia Vase ($200.00) is perfect for gathered blooms; the classic Frosty Vase ($200.00) adds quiet luminosity to consoles and dining tables; and the Frosty Dahlia Diffuser ($183.00) brings serene scent to bedside or bath. Together, they suggest a snowy landscape, each piece a small constellation of light.
Setting the Table: Stemware with Soul
Glassware is the punctuation of a table—and Anna von Lipa’s stemware punctuates with grace. The Lyon White Wine Glasses (set of 4) ($308.00) balance a classic bowl with a slender stem that feels beautifully proportioned, while the Lyon Red Wine Glasses (set of 4) ($331.00) offer a roomier bowl to open up aromatics. These are pieces that look elegant in motion—passed across a candlelit table or drawn slowly from a shelf.
Hand-painted accents bring a collector’s spirit to the everyday. The Hand-Painted Verona White Wine ($209.00) pairs a graceful silhouette with painterly detail, while the Hand-Painted Sevilla White Wine ($209.00) nods to sun-washed tiles and garden courtyards. Mix them into your glassware rotation to play with color and mood—or offer as a gift that feels singular and personal.
How to Style and Care for Your Glass
One joy of collecting Anna von Lipa is how effortlessly these pieces layer with what you already own. Try pairing an exuberant jug with understated linen, or set a confetti vase alongside neutral ceramics to make every stem pop. Keep a Confetti Carafe on a tray with a couple of hobnail short glasses for a bedside water ritual that feels quietly luxurious. On the kitchen counter, cluster the Blonde Hobnail Vase with a Round Hobnail Blond Bowl; the repeating texture creates cohesion without matching too closely.
For floral styling, think in silhouettes: tall, airy stems for the Swirl Dahlia Vase, rounded blossoms for the Marble Globe Vase, and garden cuttings for the Confetti Vase. A minimal branch in the Squeeze Vase reads like sculpture. And for fragrance, a reed bundle in the Meadows Diffuser Vase or the Volcano Diffuser Vase turns the ordinary into ritual.
Care is simple. Treat your glass as you would any handmade treasure. We recommend gentle hand‑washing with warm water and a mild, non‑abrasive soap, then drying with a soft lint‑free cloth. Avoid sudden temperature changes and very hot liquids. When possible, store stemware with space between pieces to prevent contact. A little mindfulness, and your collection will bring joy for years to come.
