Georg Jensen: Henning Koppel

Jug 1052 2.80 l

Grace, poetry & timeless Scandinavian design – the Jug 1052 “The Swan”

Some objects transcend functionality and become pure sculpture. Designed in 1956 by the celebrated Henning Koppel, the Jug 1052 – known as “The Swan” – is one of the most elegant pieces ever created for Georg Jensen. Its soaring neck, fluid contours and beautifully rounded body echo the serene movement of a swan gliding across calm water. Crafted from solid sterling silver, it embodies minimalist sophistication at its finest.

Standing at an impressive 420 mm with a 2.8-liter capacity, this jug is both sculptural and functional. Its silhouette demonstrates Koppel’s masterful ability to merge organic form with perfect balance. Offered as a first-choice piece and in this case one of the very last available, it represents a rare opportunity to own an exceptional collector’s item.

Whether showcased as a centerpiece or used on a refined table arrangement, Jug 1052 radiates quiet grandeur and celebrates the heritage of modern Danish silversmithing.
