N2 - The Danish king established a glassworks in the Norwegian part of the kingdom in 1739. Following the separation of Denmark and Norway in 1814, no glassworks remained inside the countries' borders. In the following decades, new glassworks were established in Denmark, the first few of which were built around Rendsburg in the duchy of Schleswig-Holstein. The most important of these glasshouses was named Friedrichsfeld. It was followed by the glassworks in Flensburg and, later, in Denmark itself, Holmegaard in 1825. Soon thereafter, glassworks were erected in Conradsminde, Mylenberg, Aalborg, Fyens, Kastrup, Aarhus, and a few other locations. All of these glassworks produced what was in normal use in a country with a relatively weak economy. Most of the fashionable glass was imported from the German region and, to a lesser extent, France, Belgium, and England. The first Danish-designed glass was made about 1900, and in the succeeding decade, notable designers included Lüsberg, Morávek, Bren-dekilde, and Hammershøj.
