Candle Holder 3-Candle Molten Recycled Glass On Wood

Made for slow evenings and low, flickering light, this three-candle candle holder brings recycled glass and Gamal wood into one sculptural piece. The glass catches the flame with a soft, liquid shine, while the natural root below gives the whole object a grounded, organic presence.

What the candlelight brings out

• The molten glass form feels fluid and still at once, like water held in place.
• Natural Gamal root gives the base its uneven, earthy character, so the piece feels found rather than factory-perfect.
• Small bubbles and light marks may appear in the glass, part of the hand-shaped finish rather than faults.
• Its weight gives it presence on a dining table, sideboard, mantelpiece or quiet corner.
• The mix of clear glass and warm wood suits simple interiors, natural textures and candlelit gatherings.

Recycled glass shaped over Gamal root

The glass is hand-blown, then shaped while hot over a piece of Gamal root. As it cools, it settles into the contours of the wood, creating a close, natural fit between the two materials.

Each piece is made with hand tools in the traditional Balinese way, using sustainable Gamal wood and recycled glass. The result is not uniform, and that is the point: every curve, bubble and root line belongs to that individual holder.

How to place and use it

Set it on a flat, stable, heat-resistant surface before lighting candles. The candle size is not specified, so choose candles that sit securely in the glass without leaning or forcing the fit.

Use it where the shape can be seen from several angles, such as the centre of a table or a low shelf near evening light. Leave space around the flames, and never leave burning candles unattended.

Care for glass and wood

Let the glass cool fully before handling or cleaning. Wipe the glass with a soft cloth, and keep the wood dry rather than soaking it in water.

If wax spills, allow it to harden before lifting it away gently. Avoid harsh scrubbing, which can mark the glass or disturb the natural surface of the wood.

Balinese craft in context

Molten glass on wood is closely associated with Balinese decorative craft, where organic root forms are used as the moulding partner for hot glass. Instead of forcing nature into a standard shape, the maker lets the glass respond to the wood. That relationship gives the piece its quiet tension: transparent and solid, smooth and rough, functional and sculptural. It is a candle holder, but also a small landscape for light.

Common questions

Will mine look exactly like the photo?
No. Each holder uses natural Gamal root and hand-shaped recycled glass, so the wood shape, glass fit, bubbles and small surface marks will vary.

Is the glass meant to have tiny bubbles or light scratches?
Yes. Small bubbles and light scratches can occur because of the handmade glass process, and are part of the character of this range.
