Vintage hand-held candlestick signed Verrerie de Biot – blown bubble glass in amethyst.

Authentic hand-held candlestick from the Verrerie de Biot, made of blown bubble glass and signed Biot under the base. This lovely vintage piece stands out for its amethyst/purple hue, particularly luminous, and for the numerous small bubbles trapped in the glass, characteristic of the craftsmanship of the famous Verrerie de Biot. The candlestick features an elegant conical silhouette, a wide dish designed to catch the wax, and a side handle applied hot, allowing for easy handling. Its shape is inspired by the old candlesticks known as "rats-de-cave" or hand-held candlesticks. Each piece is hand-blown, so the glass exhibits slight irregularities and variations that are an integral part of its production. The signature "Biot" is engraved under the base, confirming its origin. A very beautiful piece of vintage French decoration, equally decorative on its own or accompanied by a candle on a table, a fireplace, a console, or a bedside table. Dimensions: H15 L8 P9.
