Set of 2 vintage pink water glasses in bubble-blown glass - old parma pink - 9cm height

This delightful duo of water glasses is made of parma pink bubble-blown glass. These are narrow glasses and 9cm high. They are mouth-blown using an artisanal technique and are therefore irregular. Bubbled glass captures light differently and has a soft, delicate texture. The old rose color is delicate, almost like a parma glass. Perhaps from biot or from an artisanal glassworks: bubbled glass has existed in biot in france since 1956; the glassmakers succeed in controlling the bubble, trapping it between two layers of glass, thus turning a defect into a quality. It is an ancestral technique, known to southern glassmakers since antiquity. In good condition, these glasses measure approximately 9 cm X 5 cm in diameter. They are not signed and have discreet defects which add to their charm (burst bubbles, elongated bubbles). The glasses have slightly different dimensions, because they are mouth-blown.
