The story of Anna von Lipa
“Each piece, a testament to the harmony of strength and fragility, reflects the depth of life itself—capturing light, color, and imagination in its embrace.”
Christian's and Jytte's trip to the Czech Republic
A family trip to Prague in the 1990s introduced us to the Czech Republic's rich heritage as a hub for Europe's finest glass art.
First collection of glasses
Back in Sorø, Denmark, the trip to the Czech Republic inspired our first glassware collection, showcased alongside modern design, vintage, and handcrafted pieces in our lifestyle shops.
Purchase of small glass factory in Nový Bor
Over the years, our collaboration with top Czech glassmakers flourished, leading us to establish roots in Bohemia by acquiring a historic barley farm and a renowned glass factory in Nový Bor.
Moving to the Czech Republic
In 2013, with our children grown, Christian and I embraced a new chapter, moving to a farm in Česká Lípa, Czech Republic, to fully immerse ourselves in the world of Anna von Lipa—a brand deeply inspired by my passion for Art Deco and vintage interiors, and shaped by years of collaboration and dedication.
Running the business
Anna von Lipa became proudly represented across Europe, blending antique forms and traditional patterns with a Scandinavian twist, inspired by daily collaboration with talented glass artists.
New owner
After years of dedication, we sold Anna von Lipa to our trusted glass suppliers, confident in their potential to expand the brand beyond Europe. Relocating to Spain to focus on family, Jytte will continue designing and collaborating with the team, with Christian’s ongoing support.

In the early 1990s, Danish designer Jytte Correll embarked on a family trip to Prague that would change her life. Mesmerized by the rich heritage of Bohemian glassmaking, she saw a rare opportunity to bring this centuries-old tradition into modern homes. Partnering with skilled Czech artisans, she combined their mastery with her Scandinavian sensibilities, creating a seamless blend of heritage and innovation.
In 1996, Anna von Lipa was born—a brand dedicated to celebrating everyday beauty. Each piece is a tribute to the artistry of handblown glass, transforming the ordinary into the extraordinary. The brand’s philosophy is simple: beauty should not be confined to special occasions but embraced in daily life. Anna von Lipa’s collections embody this vision, offering timeless designs that elevate even the simplest moments.
From its roots in Czech workshops to homes across Europe, Anna von Lipa continues to honor its heritage while inspiring new traditions. Every glass reflects a story of passion, craftsmanship, and the belief that everyday beauty is a luxury meant for all.
