About the Item
Vintage purple taupe dome or bell crafted from heavy hand blown bubble Biot glass, circa 1970s.
This vintage dome or bell jar is crafted from the distinctive hand-blown bubble glass produced by Biot, the renowed glassmaking firm in the south of France near Vallauris. Known for its characteristic "bulles" or bubbles within the glass, Biot glass is instantly recognizable and treasured for its unique texture and rustic appeal.
The glassmaking tradition in Biot dates back to the 1950s when local artisans pioneered the technique of trapping bubbles within layers of molten glass, creating a rich, tactile surface that is both beautiful and functional. Each piece, including this lovely dome, is handcrafted with care, meaning no two items are ever exactly the same.
In a sophisticated taupe-purple hue, this Biot glass dome captures light beautifully, showcasing the delicate bubbles that have become the hallmark of Biot’s design. It makes an exceptional decorative piece, whether used as a cloche to cover food or plants, as a display item, or simply admired for its artistic craftsmanship.
With its combination of history, artistry, and functionality, this vintage Biot dome is a testament to the timeless appeal of French artisanal glassware.
