Anna Von Lipa – Glass Art with a Danish Soul
When discussing mouth-blown glass in Denmark, one cannot overlook Anna Von Lipa. Since its inception, the brand has created glassware that combines traditional craftsmanship with a modern Danish aesthetic. Every single piece is mouth-blown by experienced glassmakers, and it is precisely this process that gives each piece its unique character. Small variations in shape and thickness are not flaws—they are proof that a human being has shaped the glass with their hands.
Anna Von Lipa has built a loyal following among Danes who are passionate about table settings and interior design. The glassware is widely used by stylists, in magazines, and in private homes, where it adds a personal touch to everyday meals. At Dims Studio, we carry a wide selection of Anna Von Lipa products, from wine glasses to candleholders.
What is Anna Von Lipa known for?
The brand covers several categories within glass and crystal. Most well-known are probably the beautiful crystal candlesticks, which many recognize from Danish homes and social media. The candlesticks are available in classic and more decorative shapes, and they serve both as everyday items and as centerpieces for festive occasions.
In addition, wine glasses from Anna Von Lipa are highly sought after. They possess a lightness and elegance that elevate any dining experience. The glass sits comfortably in the hand, and the thin rim makes drinking from it a pleasure. Their champagne glasses are also popular—both the classic flutes and the wider coupe glasses, which have made a major comeback.
Finally, Anna Von Lipa offers a beautiful selection of opal glass pitchers that bring color and character to the table. The pitchers are both functional and decorative.
Glass Types at Anna Von Lipa
One of the things that makes Anna Von Lipa interesting is the breadth of their materials. They work with several types of glass, and each type has its own qualities:
- Crystal glass: Clear, heavy, and with a beautiful refraction of light. Primarily used for candlesticks and finer drinking glasses.
- Opal glass: A semi-transparent glass with a soft, milky surface. It gives an organic and warm feel, which works well for pitchers and vases.
- Colored glass: Hand-blown glass in various colors—from deep green and blue tones to warm amber hues. The colors are part of the glass itself, not painted on, so they last forever.

Crystal Candleholders
Anna Von Lipa’s candleholders deserve their own section. These crystal candleholders have become an icon in Danish interior design. They come in everything from simple, slender models to more sculptural designs with faceted cuts that catch the light and cast tiny prisms throughout the room.
The candlesticks make perfect gifts, and they can be mixed and matched across sizes and styles. Many people collect them over time and build a personal universe of crystal candle holders on the dining table or windowsill.
Wine glasses and champagne glasses
Investing in quality wine glasses is one of the things that makes the biggest difference to your daily dining experience. Anna Von Lipa’s wine glasses are light, thin-walled, and feature a delicate balance between the stem and the bowl. They are mouth-blown, which means they have a slightly different feel than machine-made glasses.
Their champagne glasses come in several varieties. The coupe glass is perfect for cocktails and festive occasions, while the flute keeps the bubbles longer. Both types are beautiful and functional.
Opal Glass Pitchers
Opal glass pitchers are an excellent choice if you want something out of the ordinary for your table. The semi-transparent glass gives them an almost poetic look, and they come in several sizes. Use them for water, juice, or as a vase—they’re versatile and look great in many settings. See our selection of pitchers.
Is Anna Von Lipa glass dishwasher-safe?
The short answer is: it is not recommended. Hand-blown glass and crystal are vulnerable to the high temperatures and harsh detergents in a dishwasher. Over time, the glass can become dull and lose its luster. Anna Von Lipa recommends hand-washing in lukewarm water with a mild dish soap. Dry the glass with a soft, lint-free cloth immediately after washing—this gives the best results and keeps the glass beautiful for many years.
Caring for crystal glass
Crystal glass requires a little more attention than ordinary glass, but it’s worth the effort. Here are a few tips:
- Always wash by hand with lukewarm water.
- Avoid sudden temperature changes—do not let cold glass come into contact with hot water.
- Store candlesticks and glassware so they do not touch each other, as crystal can scratch.
- Use a soft cloth to polish the glass after washing.
