1.Verre Contemporain — Robert Pierini, Ref MC5 Biot France This monumental glass sphere by R. Pierini embodies the legendary verre de Biot tradition at its most expressive. Mouth-blown in the workshops of Biot on the Côte d’Azur, the piece captures an entire underwater universe within its generous, perfectly rounded form. At its heart, turbulent ribbons of deep teal, forest green, and warm amber swirl in arrested motion, evoking kelp forests stirred by a hidden current. Suspended throughout the glass are countless tiny air bubbles — the hallmark signature of authentic Biot glasswork — scattering light like a constellation of pearls. A bold central void, a large enclosed bubble, draws the eye inward, creating a mesmerising lens-within-a-lens effect. Three prominent spherical inclusions anchor the composition, their chrome-like clarity contrasting dramatically against the organic, fluid interior forms. Viewed from each angle, the sphere reveals an entirely new landscape, shifting between oceanic depth and volcanic abstraction. A masterful dialogue between control and chance, this piece exemplifies Pierini’s command of fire, breath, and molten glass. 2.
