Between tradition and creation, each biot glassworks is unique, because blown in the mouth by the master glassmakers. Depending on the season, the products are available in all colors: golden yellow, sand rose, linden, amethyst, persian blue... Pastel and sparkling colors at the same time. In good condition, this cup measures 10 cm X 9 cm in height. It is not signed.
