Description :
This large and elegant vintage pitcher is crafted in the renowned bubble glass from Biot, a traditional glassmaking technique originating from the village of Biot in the South of France. Famous for its distinctive appearance, Biot glass incorporates countless small air bubbles intentionally trapped within the glass during the blowing process, creating a lively, textured surface that beautifully captures and reflects light.
Hand-blown by skilled glass artisans, the pitcher features a graceful, slightly waisted silhouette with a gently shaped pouring spout and a sculptural applied handle in a deeper blue tone. The contrast between the pale aqua body and the richer blue handle adds depth and visual interest while emphasizing the artisanal nature of the piece. As with all authentic hand-blown glass, subtle variations in the bubbles and thickness of the glass give each example a unique character.
Likely produced in Biot, France, during the mid-20th century, this piece reflects the long-standing tradition of French decorative glassmaking that made Biot glass popular throughout the Riviera and beyond.
Both decorative and functional, the pitcher can be used for serving water, juice, or wine, but it also works beautifully as a vase for fresh flowers or simply as a sculptural accent on a table or sideboard.
The pitcher remains in very good vintage condition, with no visible damage, preserving all the charm and authenticity of this iconic French glassware tradition.
