Molten Glass on Root Wood Vase 24cm

Light gathers in the pale aqua glass, then drops into the ridges and shadows of the root wood beneath it. This molten glass on root wood vase is part vessel, part small sculpture, made for a shelf, console or quiet corner where natural form matters as much as flowers.

The glass, caught in motion

• The glass has a soft green-blue tint, with ripples and folds that look fluid even when still.
• An angled mouth gives the piece a slightly leaning, organic silhouette rather than a neat, symmetrical profile.
• Small bubbles and irregular lines sit within the glass, adding to its hand-shaped character.
• The rounded body rests close to the wood, so the smooth transparency and rough grain meet directly.
• It works beautifully empty, letting light, texture and negative space do the arranging.

Hand-blown glass over Gamal wood

The vessel is hand-blown from recycled glass and shaped directly over a reclaimed Gamal wood base. Because the glass follows the individual contours of the wood, each piece has its own line, balance and meeting point.

The base shows warm brown grain, knots and carved-looking hollows, giving the clear glass a grounded, earthy contrast. It is refined, but not uniform.

Living with a sculptural vase

Place it where the side light can move through the glass, such as a windowsill, sideboard or open shelf. It suits a minimal stem, a dried arrangement, or simply being left empty as a natural statement piece.

Lift it with both hands, supporting the wood and the glass together. Wipe the glass gently with a soft cloth, and keep the wooden base away from prolonged damp.

Root wood as found form

Root wood brings a different kind of beauty from polished timber. Its appeal lies in the uneven surface, the hollows, the darker grain and the sense that the shape came first from nature, then from the maker’s response to it. In the spirit of minimal arrangements, including Japanese ikebana, a vessel like this does not need to be filled heavily. A single branch, a few dried stems or a clear space around it can let the form breathe.

Common questions

Will every vase look the same?
No. The glass is shaped over reclaimed wood, so the exact curves, grain and fit vary from piece to piece.

Can it stand alone without flowers?
Yes. The rippled glass and root wood base give it enough presence to work as a standalone decorative object.
