Description :
This elegant pair of French Biot glass hurricane candle holders exemplifies the enduring tradition of glassmaking from the village of Biot, located in the South of France. Mouth-blown by skilled artisans, each piece features the characteristic “bubble glass” effect, created by introducing air into the molten glass, resulting in a vibrant, textured surface filled with suspended bubbles.
The form is both classic and functional, with a softly flared body resting on a stable pedestal foot. Inside, an integrated candle support allows for the secure placement of a candle, enhancing the warm diffusion of light through the glass. The two complementary tones, one in a soft aqua blue and the other in a subtle amber, highlight the natural variations typical of handcrafted Biot glass.
The visible pontil marks on the base confirm their artisanal origin, while slight asymmetries and irregular bubble patterns further attest to their handmade quality. These pieces are characteristic of production from the mid-20th century, circa 1950, a period during which Biot glassmakers revived and popularized traditional bubble glass techniques for decorative use.
Both decorative and functional, this pair brings a refined yet relaxed Provençal charm, perfect for creating a warm and inviting ambiance in any interior setting.
