Why we love it

Anyone who creates such beauty and articulates their craft like this ‘Working with glass means embroidering the molten material and telling tomorrow with yesterday’s gestures. It is a matter of paradoxes and poetry: beautiful, fiery, and resolutely Mediterranean.’ is for us! 
Meet French glassmakers La Verrerie de Biot, who have created bubble glass since 1956 by using a technique where the bubble is mastered and imprisoned in between two layers of glass. This way, a defect (the bubble) is transformed into a feature of quality requiring a great deal of skills from the artisan. 
This piece, circa 1970s is an enduring example of that. The amber colour glows beautifully and reflects the light gloriously. Great vintage condition, for use or display and bearing the Biot maker’s mark.  

Disclaimer - All of our vintage pieces are in good working condition (unless noted otherwise) and show patina consistent with age, which adds to their beauty and character and is not considered a defect.
