Molten Glass Chunky Ashtray / Candle Holder on Wood 23cm

• The glass has a clear aqua tint, with thick folds and ripples that make candlelight feel softer and more fluid.
• The rim curves in uneven waves, giving the piece a natural, molten look rather than a neat, uniform outline.
• The wooden base is dark, textured and irregular, so the smooth glass feels even brighter against it.
• It works as a candle holder or ashtray, with a deep glass centre that feels substantial rather than delicate.
• The weight gives it a steady presence on a sideboard, coffee table or low ritual corner.

The piece brings together glass and Gamal wood, also known as Gliricidia sepium. The contrast is the appeal: transparent, cool-toned glass resting against a raw, knotted wooden form. It belongs to the Molten Glass on Wood range, known for pairing fluid glass shapes with natural timber bases.

Place a candle that sits flat and securely in the glass centre, leaving space around the flame. The glass is best enjoyed where you can see the light moving through its curves, such as a low table, mantelpiece or bedside surface.

If using it as an ashtray, let ash and residue cool fully before emptying. Wipe the glass clean gently and keep the wood away from prolonged damp.

This style draws on Indonesian craft traditions that often work with natural materials in a direct, expressive way. Here, the beauty comes from contrast rather than ornament: the glass looks fluid and luminous, while the Gamal wood keeps its rugged, organic character. It is a useful object, but it reads like a small sculpture, especially when placed where daylight or candlelight can catch the blue-green glass.

Listed size: 23 cm. Weight: 1392 g. Materials: Gamal wood (Gliricidia sepium) and glass. Suitable as a candle holder or ashtray.

A thoughtful gift for someone who likes natural textures, candlelit evenings and objects with real visual presence. It suits a new home, a meditation corner, or anyone who prefers home décor with a little weight and character.
