Biot - French hand-blown ice bucket with handles

From Willows Antiques

Availability: SOLD

Biot is a small fortified medieval hilltop village in the Provence-Alpes-Côte d’Azur. This village is now known for its ceramics and glassblowing, and dates to prehistoric times.

 

Its glass production started in 1956 when Eloi Monod created la Verrerie de Biot. He sought to develop "old glass" and, by adding carbonate of soda to the process, the world-famous bubble glass was born.
