This striking set of three hand-blown art glass bowls was produced by the Verrerie de Biot, one of the most renowned French glass workshops of the 20th century. Founded in 1956 in the south of France, the Verrerie de Biot quickly became famous for reviving traditional mouth-blown techniques, particularly the deliberate inclusion of air bubbles within the glass, a distinctive signature that remains emblematic of Biot production.
The set includes two larger bowls and one smaller bowl, all executed in rich shades of blue ranging from deep cobalt to vibrant turquoise. Each piece features a softly flared rim and a thick, rounded base, giving the bowls both visual depth and a satisfying sense of weight. The visible bubbles suspended within the glass are not imperfections, but intentional elements of design, reflecting the artisanal process and the workshop’s dedication to handcrafted authenticity.
Dating from the mid-20th century, circa 1960s–1970s, these bowls perfectly illustrate the aesthetic philosophy of Biot glass: bold color, organic form, and expressive materiality. Their timeless design allows them to function equally well as decorative objects or functional vessels.
A beautiful example of French post-war art glass, this set would be an excellent addition to a modern, coastal, or mid-century interior, as well as to a curated glass collection.
