Glass Bowl with Carved Hand Wooden Stand

• The contrast is the quiet pleasure: smooth recycled glass resting against the uneven character of natural wood.
• The glass has a fluid, softened shape, as if it has paused mid-flow over the timber below.
• Small bubbles or fine surface marks may appear in the glass, part of its handmade character rather than a flaw.
• The wooden base gives it an earthy presence, suited to a console table, sideboard, shelf or calm centrepiece.
• It works beautifully left empty, or used decoratively for stones, shells, dried botanicals or other dry objects.

The bowl is made from recycled glass, hand-blown while hot and then relaxed over a piece of Gamal root so it hardens to the natural shape of the wood. The wooden stand is worked with hand tools in the traditional Balinese way, giving each piece its own line, fit and character.

Use it as a sculptural glass bowl on wood, rather than a plain storage dish. It suits organic-modern, coastal and slow-living interiors, especially where natural textures are allowed to breathe.

Keep the styling simple. A few found objects, dried petals or polished stones will let the glass and wood remain the focus.

Wipe the glass gently with a soft cloth and keep the wooden stand away from prolonged damp. As the wood is a natural material, avoid soaking it or leaving standing water in contact with the base.

This piece comes from Indonesia and sits within a Balinese craft approach where the maker responds to the wood rather than forcing it into a uniform mould. The glass is shaped to the root, so the fit is specific to each stand. That is the charm of the form: recycled glass given a second life, natural Gamal wood kept visibly irregular, and a finished object that feels calm, tactile and unrepeatable.

• Material: Gamal wood and recycled glass.
