Product description
Large Hand-Blown Decorative Vase – La Verrerie de Biot (France)
Height: 33 cm
This impressive large-scale hand-blown glass vase is an authentic creation from La Verrerie de Biot and beautifully embodies the expressive character of Provençal glassmaking.
Rendered in a sophisticated smoky-rose tone, the vase features the distinctive Biot bubble glass texture, with elongated air bubbles and subtle surface movement frozen within the glass. These inclusions create a dynamic play of light and depth, giving the surface a lively, almost fluid appearance. The tall, gently flared silhouette feels both modern and timeless, while the thickened rim and solid base emphasize its hand-crafted strength and presence.
At 33 cm in height, this is a statement piece. Its generous scale allows it to stand confidently on the floor, a console, or a large table, making it ideal as a focal point in an interior. Whether displayed empty as a sculptural object or used to hold large branches or dried arrangements, it brings structure, texture, and quiet drama to a space.
Free-blown without molds, each vase is unique. Variations in bubble patterns, wall thickness, and tonal shading are not imperfections, but signatures of the artisan’s hand — details that elevate the piece beyond decorative glass into functional art.
In recent years, large Biot glass vessels like this have become increasingly popular among interior designers and decorators, valued for their ability to anchor a room while remaining light, organic, and elegant. This vase is both an interesting and functional interior object — a timeless expression of French artisanal tradition with strong contemporary appeal.
About La Verrerie de Biot
Founded in 1956 in the historic Provençal village of Biot, La Verrerie de Biot became internationally renowned for reviving ancient glassmaking techniques inspired by Roman traditions. The workshop embraced the accidental formation of bubbles in molten glass and transformed it into a defining aesthetic, now synonymous with Biot.
Each object is shaped without molds, guided solely by the artisan’s skill, breath, and timing. This approach ensures that no two pieces are ever exactly alike, reinforcing their individuality and artistic value.
In recent years, objects from La Verrerie de Biot have been growing steadily in popularity, attracting collectors, interior designers, and design enthusiasts worldwide. Valued for their authenticity, timeless appeal, and strong connection to French artisanal heritage, these works are increasingly recognized as both functional objects and collectible design pieces.
