Hand Blown Glass Bowl on Wooden Base

• The contrast is the first thing you notice: smooth glass held by the uneven character of natural wood.
• It brings an art-object feeling to a shelf, table or windowsill, even before anything is placed inside.
• Use it as a calm setting for tumbled stones, a small air plant, or a simple arrangement of cut flowers.
• With a floating candle, the bowl becomes a low, reflective pool of light for a still evening corner.
• Each piece carries natural variation, because the glass takes its form from the individual wood base beneath it.

This piece is made in Bali from recycled glass and sustainable Gamal wood, also known as Gliricidia sepium. The glass is hand-blown, then shaped while hot over the root form, so it settles into the contours of the wood as it cools.

The result is not a perfectly uniform vessel. It is meant to hold the slight irregularities of the material and the making, with glass and wood meeting in a way that feels organic rather than machine-cut.

Keep the styling simple so the shape can breathe. A few stones, an air plant, a stem or two of flowers, or a floating candle are enough to let the molten glass on wood bowl become the focus.

For flowers or candles, place it where it can be watched and enjoyed, away from busy edges or anything easily knocked. If using with water, empty it after use and dry the surrounding area carefully.

Clean the glass gently with a soft cloth. Keep the wooden base away from prolonged damp, soaking or harsh cleaning products, as natural wood can mark or change with moisture.

This is best treated as a decorative vessel rather than everyday tableware. Do not use it for food unless separate food-safety information is provided.

Molten glass on wood pieces come from a craft tradition that values the conversation between material and maker. In Bali, root wood is often worked in ways that keep its twisting form visible, rather than cutting it into strict symmetry. Here, the artisan uses that shape as part of the design: hot glass relaxes over the wood, then hardens into a fitted vessel. It gives the finished object a slow, elemental feeling, part practical bowl, part small sculpture.

No fixed dimensions are provided for this piece. It includes one hand-blown glass bowl fitted to a Gamal wood root base, made in Indonesia.

It suits someone who likes natural textures, quiet interiors and objects with visible making behind them. A considered choice for a housewarming, a new studio space, or anyone building a more grounded corner at home.
