Molten Glass Vase On Whitewash Wood, Small

Clear recycled glass pools and rises from pale Gamal wood, caught between sculpture and vase. This molten glass vase is made for a shelf, console or quiet corner where raw texture and glassy light can do the talking, with or without stems.

The form: glass shaped by wood

• The glass stands upright from the wood, tapering into a tall, open vessel with a softly uneven rim.
• Aqua-tinted glass gathers thickly at the base, catching light in ripples and rounded edges.
• The whitewashed wood keeps its natural knots, hollows and irregular line, so the base feels found rather than polished flat.
• It works as a sculptural vase for a single stem, a small dried arrangement, or simply as an object left empty.
• Small bubbles, light scratches and slight asymmetry are part of the handmade glass character.

Hand-blown glass on Balinese Gamal wood

Crafted by hand in Bali, the recycled glass is blown while hot, then rested over a piece of Gamal root so it cools into the wood’s natural shape. Each base guides the glass differently, which means every piece in the Molten Glass on Wood range has its own balance, footprint and flow.

Living with it

Place it where the glass can catch natural light: a windowsill, sideboard, mantel or low table. The contrast works best with a little space around it, rather than crowded among other objects.

Wipe the glass gently with a soft cloth and keep the wood away from prolonged damp. If using fresh stems, test carefully with water first and place the vase on a protected surface.

The wood’s journey

Gamal wood is used here not as a hidden support, but as part of the design. Its pale, weathered-looking surface gives the piece the feeling of found natural form, while the glass brings clarity and shine. The pairing sits close to the spirit of wabi-sabi: beauty in irregular edges, visible process and the small differences that make an object feel alive. In a minimal arrangement, it also echoes the quiet discipline of ikebana, where space and stem matter as much as the vessel itself.

Common questions

Will mine look exactly like the photo?
No. Each piece is made with natural Gamal wood and hand-shaped recycled glass, so the wood shape, glass flow and small surface marks will differ.

Can it be displayed without flowers?
Yes. It is strong enough visually to stand as a small sculpture, especially where light can pass through the glass.
