Vintage Teak and Glass Appetizer Tray by Jens Quistgaard

Scandinavian design serving tray/appetizer set, featuring a solid teak tray with integrated handles and six glass pieces—five bowls and a central container with lid—fitted into custom slots for stability and organization during use. Crafted from high-quality materials, the glass showcases a subtle bluish tint, typical of Dansk production from the 1960s–70s, which blends harmoniously with the warmth of the teak. The set is designed by Jens Harald Quistgaard (1919–2008), a renowned Danish designer and sculptor, chief designer for Dansk Designs for over 30 years, and creator of thousands of objects now featured in museums and international collections. Dansk Designs, founded in 1954 by Ted and Martha Nierenberg, played a key role in popularizing Nordic design in the United States, focusing on functionality, natural materials, and artisanal quality. This piece is perfect for serving dips, olives, nuts, or small appetizers, and also works beautifully as a centerpiece or collectible item—an authentic example of 20th-century Danish Modern design.
