This refined Biot set plays beautifully with light, each piece alive with delicate trapped air bubbles—an iconic signature of Mediterranean craftsmanship.
The large stem glasses take inspiration from the traditional pomponnette à champagne—playful vessels designed without a stable resting base, encouraging you to keep them in hand and continue the celebration. A charming nod to convivial French table culture, where the moment is meant to last just a little longer.
Produced in the renowned glassmaking village of Verrerie de Biot, this technique dates back to the 1950s revival of traditional blown glass, where controlled air bubbles became a hallmark of artisanal quality. Pieces from Biot are celebrated for their organic irregularities and their ability to elevate even the simplest table into something quietly spectacular.
Perfect for serving water, wine, or aperitifs, or simply displayed as a sculptural decorative ensemble in a sunlit interior.
This set includes 1 carafe, 5 small stem glasses, and 5 large stem glasses, forming a beautifully cohesive and versatile ensemble for both everyday elegance and refined entertaining.
