Molten Glass On Wood Vase

• The clear glass keeps the look light, catching daylight without hiding the shape of the wood beneath.
• The wooden base has an earthy, root-like presence, so the piece feels found rather than overly polished.
• Small bubbles, faint marks and natural variation are part of the handmade character.
• It works as art first, then as a vessel, with enough presence for a shelf, console table or plant display.
• The contrast is the pleasure: smooth glass, irregular timber, and a silhouette that changes as you walk past it.

The vase is made from glass and Gamal wood, also known as Gliricidia sepium. While the glass is still hot, it is relaxed over the natural wood form, then left to harden around its contours. The result is a close, organic fit shaped by the timber.

It is made in Indonesia using traditional Balinese hand-tool methods. Because the wood and glass are worked by hand, each piece has its own small differences in line, surface and fit.

Use it for air plants, polished stones, a few cut flowers, or simply leave it empty so the glass can catch the light. It also suits a slow, natural table setting as a sculptural vessel for display.

If using water for flowers, keep the water inside the glass and wipe the wood dry after filling. Place it somewhere stable, away from busy edges where the glass could be knocked.

Clean the glass gently with a soft cloth. Avoid soaking the wood, as natural timber dislikes prolonged damp. Let the piece dry fully before placing it back on a shelf or surface.

The glass bowl is listed as 27 cm high and 5 cm in diameter. On the stand, the piece measures 30 cm high and weighs 1620 g.

Materials: Gamal wood (Gliricidia sepium) and glass. Origin: Indonesia. Part of the Molten Glass on Wood range.

This is a thoughtful gift for someone who loves house plants, organic-modern interiors, coastal textures or handmade decorative objects. It feels considered without being formal, and works well for a new home, a studio space or a calm bedside corner.
