Pamono Mid-Century Amber Bubble Glass Photophores or Candleholders from Biot, France, 1960s, Set of 2> Candleholders

This striking pair of French Biot photophores, or candle holders, embodies the charm of Riviera glassmaking in the 1960s.
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.

Founded in 1956 in the South of France, the Verrerie de Biot quickly became renowned worldwide for its unique bubble-glass technique. Each piece is individually mouth-blown, making every creation slightly different and truly one of a kind.
Perfect for atmospheric candlelit evenings or as a refined decorative touch in any interior.
