FR - Eloi Monod, founder of the French glassmaking 'La Verrerie de Biot', has just left us.
In 1956, this engineer decided to create 'La Verrerie de Biot' with Luce, his wife. From a glass defect, the bubbles, he created a renowned specialty worldwide appreciated. The bubble glass technique and the use of metallic oxides for the colors quickly made the international reputation of the 'Verrerie de Biot'. The French village Biot, already known for its potters, became the village of the glassmakers.
