Recycled Glass Square Bowl With Wood Base

Green recycled glass rises like a small pool of light from a natural wood base, giving this recycled glass bowl the feeling of a found object made useful again. It is sculptural before it is practical, a small vessel for a shelf, side table or quiet corner where texture matters as much as function.

Green glass against raw wood

• The glass has a soft bottle-green tone, catching daylight with a watery, translucent glow.
• Its square form feels clean and simple, while the lower edge follows the uneven movement of the wood beneath.
• The base brings in rough grain, knots and darker natural markings, so the piece feels grounded rather than polished flat.
• Use it for dry decorative pieces, small keepsakes or as a calm focal point on a console, desk or bedside table.
• Small bubbles and light surface marks may appear in the glass, part of the handmade character of this style.

Recycled bottle glass on Gamal wood

The vessel is made from recycled beer bottles, melted and shaped while soft, then set onto a Gamal wood base. Each piece is handmade in Indonesia, so the curve where glass meets timber will vary from one bowl to the next.

That slight irregularity is the charm. The glass looks fluid and bright; the wood keeps its natural, weathered texture. Together they make an object that feels collected, not manufactured to perfect sameness.

How to style and use it

Place it where the green glass can catch natural light, on a windowsill, shelf or low table. It works especially well with organic modern, coastal and slow-living interiors, where one textured piece can do more than a cluster of clutter.

Keep contents dry and gentle. It suits decorative use, wrapped sweets, small stones, dried botanicals or little everyday objects you want to keep beautifully gathered.

Caring for glass and wood

Wipe the glass with a soft cloth and avoid soaking the wood base. If needed, use a lightly damp cloth on the glass only, then dry straight away. Natural wood dislikes prolonged damp, so keep it away from standing water and very humid spots.

From bottles to a slower object

This piece belongs to a tradition of turning discarded material into something with presence. Beer-bottle glass brings its familiar green colour, while the wooden base keeps the feeling close to the earth. In Indonesia, craft objects often make generous use of natural texture, allowing grain, curve and irregularity to remain visible. Here, that approach turns a simple vessel into art for daily living, made to hold small things, catch the light and remind the room to breathe.

Common questions

Is it suitable for fresh flowers or water?
It is best kept for dry decorative use, as the wood base should not be soaked or left damp.

Will each bowl look exactly the same?
No. The glass is handmade and set onto natural wood, so each piece has its own shape, grain, bubbles and small variations.
