Set of 6 Old plates in pink bubbled blown glass 18 - 20 cm

This rare series of 6 blown glass plates is old. They are made of bubbled blown glass in a delicate old pink color. They are blown in the mouth according to an artisanal technique and is therefore irregular. The border is hemmed - the trace of the blowing rod is visible on the back. Bubbled glass captures light differently and has a soft and delicate texture. Perhaps from biot or artisanal glassware: bubbled glass has made biot glassware famous since 1956, glassmakers succeed by mastering the bubble, to imprint it between two layers of glass, thus making a defect a quality. It is an ancertral technique, known to southern glassmakers. In good condition, these plates measure 18 cm to 20 cm in diameter. They are not signed and have defects (burst bubbles, opaque bubbles, elongated bubbles). The dimensions are slightly different and the plates sound more or less hollow.
