handblown in the signature verre bullé technique, the warm amber tones are enriched by the delicate constellation of trapped air bubbles, giving each piece a shimmering depth when lit by candlelight.
the pair is composed of two different sizes, one signed ""biot"" on the base, highlighting its authenticity and origin.
their elegant baluster stems and flared rims make them equally functional as candle holders or decorative art glass accents.
