Series of vintage bubble-blown glass cups from Biot

The five olive green and blue blown bubbled glass timpani are in perfect condition, no accidents, no cracks or chips. The glasses are flared, quite high, and are equipped with a handle. The handle is applied hot by the glassmakers, on the side of the glass. These pieces were mouth-blown using an artisanal technique and are therefore irregular. The seeded glass catches the light beautifully and has a soft, delicate texture. Biot bubbled glass has existed since 1956, when Éloi Monod adopted the so-called "malfin" technique, which consists of transforming a defect into quality: intentionally imprisoned, the bubble becomes an aesthetic asset. Biot's glassmakers then succeeded in sublimating the bubbled glass: by controlling the bubble, and by imprisoning it between two layers of glass, with a smooth feel. Between tradition and creation, each biot glassware is unique, because it is mouth-blown by master glassmakers. Depending on the season, the products come in all colors: golden yellow, sand rose, lime, amethyst, Persian blue, etc. So many pastel and sparkling colors at the same time. Here, the set of five cups consists of three blue cups and two olive green cups. Traditional French artisanal manufacturing from the south of France from the 60s.
