Pair of Hand-Blown Decorative Carafes – La Verrerie de Biot (France) This elegant pair of small hand-blown glass carafes comes from La Verrerie de Biot and beautifully reflects the refined spirit of Provençal glassmaking. Rendered in a warm smoky-rose tone, each carafe features the iconic Biot bubble glass texture, with delicate air bubbles suspended throughout the body. These bubbles create depth and movement, catching the light differently from every angle. The softly rounded body flows into a slender neck with a gently pinched pouring lip, while the applied handle adds balance and character — unmistakably shaped by hand rather than by mold. Although similar in form, the two carafes are not identical. Subtle variations in bubble patterns, curvature, and color density give each piece its own personality, making them a true matched pair rather than mass-produced duplicates. Their intimate scale gives them a poetic, decorative presence. They are ideal as artistic bud vases for single stems, elegant holders for fragrances or oils, or simply as sculptural accents on a table, shelf, or sideboard. Designed to be appreciated up close, these objects invite attention through texture, transparency, and the quiet beauty of handcrafted glass. As interest in authentic artisanal and mid-century glass continues to grow, objects from La Verrerie de Biot are becoming increasingly sought after by collectors and design enthusiasts. This pair offers not only visual charm, but also a tangible connection to a living French craft tradition — timeless, expressive, and quietly luxurious.
