Moreover, a love story is often the source of a success. Whether it is love for a subject, a place or a person. For example, Eloi Monod (founder of Verrerie de Biot) was in love with Lucette Augé-Laribé, daughter of a famous potter of Biot; He had the idea of making rustic glasses to accompany table services. This became the basis for the origin of the famous biot glass with bubbles. I fell in love with Jean-Claude Novaro who worked in this glassworks where I was executive secretary and, in 1977, we built the Novaro workshop, place essentially turned towards the single piece. Sharing Jean-Claude Novaro's imaginative imagination, exchanging our ideas of creations combined with his dexterity of execution, was invigorating. During our separation in 1982, I kept the workshop and helped two accomplished glassmakers, threw my own designs, both in the decorative glassware and the unique piece. My research was mainly focused on the harmony of colors and the femininity of forms. 30 years of passion for this rare profession followed, crowned with success. I also invested in the tourism sector of my village to make it more and more known. Biot shines with all the arts that animate it: jewelery, glassware, ceramics, painting, gastronomy, sculpture, etc .... This town is an incredible artistic wealth! Later, in the 1990s, Nicolas Laty and Léa (the girl I had with Jean-Claude NOVARO) met. Which led Nicolas to attend our workshops, take interest in glass, learn the job on the job, and quickly find a very particular style, rather directed to the animal world and comics. Today, he is a recognized and appreciated glassmaker. Thus, I have the impression of having passed on the passion for this extraordinary profession.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"white-space: pre-wrap;\" data-rte-preserve-empty=\"true\"\u003e© PrimpingYourHome\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"white-space: pre-wrap;\" data-rte-preserve-empty=\"true\"\u003ePYH 5836\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"white-space: pre-wrap;\" data-rte-preserve-empty=\"true\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCustomer Review:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"white-space: pre-wrap;\" data-rte-preserve-empty=\"true\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTerri L - 5 out of 5 stars\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"white-space: pre-wrap;\" data-rte-preserve-empty=\"true\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eMichele Luzoro is the Diva of Biot and it’s profoundly apparent by this French Art Glass Bottle\/Vase.

The company is renowned for their high quality, hand-painted figurines, particularly French military leaders such as these three.  The blue underglaze mark on the bottom is a letter S with crossed with a horizontal X. The company used this mark from 1925 to 1972; these figurines probably date from the 1950's-60's.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAll three are in excellent conditions, retaining the glossy enamels and gilding and, surprisingly, all the fingers, save for the very tip of Marshal Exelmans's thumb of his left hand.

The outside edges of the frame are a marbleized gold and black.  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe frames are chippy, very much shabby chic. The mats surrounding the etchings are a pinkish cream color with gold inner edges. Both mats and etchings have some brown spots (foxing, but none are objectionable. The glass on all four has no flaws that we found. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePrior to the publication of Le Bon Genre etchings, printed Parisian scenes of the growing French middle-class bourgeoisie were rarely seen. These etchings are playfully, gently satirical, depicting the foibles and airs of the nouveau riche in post-Revolution France. They're an important record of French social history, fascinating in their myriad details and wonderfully decorative, creating a beautiful gallery wall or hanging individually. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e⚜️Please Note: Due to lighting variations when photographing through glass, the etchings may show areas of different colors. The individual photos of each one framed are the most accurate. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e© PrimpingYourHome.com\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePYH 5845\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Primping Your Home Antiques \u0026 Vintage Home Decor","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47890515099835,"sku":null,"price":495.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0721\/9101\/7147\/files\/LEBONGENREFour1800sFrenchEtchingsHandColoredFramedCuisineThemed-Four-Over-Blue-Velvet-Sofa-pyh-2000x2000.jpg?v=1780198308"}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0721\/9101\/7147\/collections\/5835-Vintage5InchLiddedWoodFirkin-full-front-view-handle-up-in-home-2000x3000.jpg?v=1778785213","url":"https:\/\/www.primpingyourhome.com\/collections\/sold.oembed","provider":"Primping Your Home Antiques \u0026 Vintage Home Decor","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
