Vintage blown glass salad bowl

The salad bowl is in perfect condition, no accidents, no cracks or chips. It is made of blown organic glass. This piece was mouth-blown using an artisanal technique and as a result, it is irregular. The seeded glass catches the light beautifully and has a soft, delicate texture. Biot bubbled glass has existed since 1956, when éloi monod adopted the so-called "malfin" technique, which consists of transforming a defect into quality: intentionally imprisoned, the bubble becomes an aesthetic asset. Biot's glassmakers then succeeded in sublimating the bubbled glass: by controlling the bubble, and by imprisoning it between two layers of glass, with a smooth feel. Between tradition and creation, each biot glassware is unique, because it is mouth-blown by master glassmakers. Depending on the season, the products come in all colors: golden yellow, sand rose, lime, amethyst, persian blue, etc. So many pastel and sparkling colors at the same time. Here, a very pretty delicate blue. The salad bowl is heavy and very stable on its base. The bottom measures approximately 9.5 cm in diameter. Very pretty piece of french craftsmanship from the south of france, from the 80s.
