Glass Vase On Wood Base V-Shaped

Clear recycled glass drops into a V-shaped fold of warm Gamal wood, turning a simple vase into a small piece of sculpture. This molten glass vase has that raw-meets-refined feeling: smooth transparency held by grain, knots and natural irregularity. Use it for a single stem, a small plant display, a floating candle, or leave it empty where the light can pass through.

The sculptural form

• The glass sits upright in the wood, with a deep V shape that draws the eye down to the point where the two materials meet.
• Soft blue-green edges catch the light, giving the clear glass a watery glow against the warmer timber.
• The wood base is full of visible grain, darker patches and natural marks, so it feels grounded rather than polished flat.
• Small bubbles, light scratches and slight asymmetry are part of the handmade character of this piece.
• It works as a vase, but it also holds its own as a quiet object on a shelf, console table or windowsill.

Recycled glass shaped over Gamal wood

The glass is hand-blown, then relaxed while hot over a piece of Balinese Gamal wood. As it cools, it takes on the shape of the wood beneath it, creating a close, individual fit. Because both the timber and the glass shaping vary, each piece has its own outline, grain pattern and small signs of hand work.

Living with it

Place it somewhere the contrast can be seen: near daylight, against a plain wall, or among quieter natural objects. It suits sparse arrangements best, where the V-shaped glass and textured wood still have room to breathe.

Use a soft cloth for dusting the wood and glass. Handle it with both hands when moving it, and avoid sudden knocks, as the hand-blown glass is part of the sculptural form.

From Balinese craft to a quiet display

This piece comes from Bali, where natural materials are often worked with visible respect for their irregularity. The idea is not to make every vase identical, but to let the wood decide part of the shape. That makes it especially suited to minimal arrangements: one stem, a small planted moment, a simple candle on water, or empty space held beautifully. In that sense it sits close to the spirit of ikebana, where the vessel, the plant material and the space around them all matter.

Common questions

Will mine look exactly like the photo?
No. Each vase is shaped over natural wood, so the grain, outline and glass fit will vary slightly from piece to piece.

Can it be displayed without flowers or plants?
Yes. The V-shaped glass and wood base make it strong enough visually to stand as a decorative object on its own.

Are bubbles or small marks in the glass normal?
Yes. Minor bubbles, light scratches and handmade irregularities are part of this type of molten glass work.
