Recycled Beer Bottle Glass Bowl on Wood

Green glass rests over natural wood like a small pool caught in mid-flow. This recycled beer bottle glass bowl on wood is part sculpture, part vessel, made for a shelf, console or quiet table where light can pass through the glass and pick up the grain beneath.

Green glass, warm grain and an organic silhouette

• The glass has a soft beer-bottle green tone, bright at the rim and deeper where it gathers at the base.
• Its rounded bowl shape feels fluid rather than formal, with a slightly uneven handmade character.
• The wood base brings a grounded, rustic contrast, with knots, hollows and darker grain visible across the surface.
• Small bubbles or light marks may appear in the glass, part of the handmade finish rather than a flaw.
• It suits dry displays beautifully: shells, stones, potpourri, keys, dried petals or a simple empty moment of colour.

Recycled bottles shaped by hand

The glass is made from recycled beer bottles, heated and formed into an organic bowl before being set onto Gamal wood. Each piece is handmade in Indonesia, so the curve of the glass and the character of the timber will vary slightly from one to the next.

This is the pleasure of the piece: salvaged material given a second life, without losing the irregularity that makes it feel human.

How to style it at home

Place it where the green glass can catch natural light, on a sideboard, bathroom shelf, bedside table or low coffee table. It works especially well with coastal, organic-modern and slow-living interiors, where texture matters as much as colour.

Use it as a decorative bowl rather than a serving dish. If you are adding anything damp, oily or strongly coloured, line the inside first to protect the wood contact area.

Care for glass and wood

Wipe the glass gently with a soft damp cloth, then dry it straight away. Keep the wooden base away from prolonged moisture and avoid soaking the piece, as natural wood can mark or change with water.

Why recycled glass feels different

Molten glass pieces have a softened, pooled quality that suits the slow shape of natural timber. In this design, the familiar green of beer-bottle glass becomes something quieter and more sculptural, while the wood keeps it earthy rather than polished. The handmade process means the bowl does not aim for perfect symmetry. It is closer to a found object made useful again, with the marks of its materials still visible.

Size, capacity and details

Approximate dimensions: 17 cm wide, 11 cm high, 20 cm at the widest point, with a 13 cm top diameter. Capacity is approximately 600 ml, and the piece weighs around 1450 g.

Made from recycled bottles and Gamal wood. Handmade in Indonesia. Each recycled beer bottle glass bowl on wood is unique, with slight variation in size, shape and finish.

A grounded gift for the home

A thoughtful gift for someone who loves natural textures, recycled materials or sculptural home décor. It feels personal without being overly ornamental, and brings a calm point of colour to a room.

Common questions

Can I use it for food?
It is best treated as a decorative bowl unless you use a liner. The supplied details do not state that it is food-safe.

Will the piece look exactly like the photo?
No. Each one is handmade, so the glass shape, small surface marks and wood grain will vary slightly.

Is it suitable for water or fresh flowers?
Use it dry where possible. Prolonged moisture may affect the natural wood base.
