Melted Glass Bowl on Wood Stand

• The glass has a clear, gently blue-green edge, so it feels airy rather than heavy on a shelf or table.
• The rounded bowl form softens the rugged wood beneath it, giving the piece a calm organic-modern look.
• Natural hollows and raised ridges in the stand remain visible through the glass, adding depth from every angle.
• Small bubbles or light marks may appear in the glass, part of the handmade character of this style.
• It suits simple styling: a few stems, a quiet air-plant arrangement, smooth stones, or a floating candle.

Each piece is crafted by hand in Bali from recycled glass and Balinese Gamal wood. The glass is hand-blown, then relaxed while hot over the wood so it hardens into the contours below. Because the base is natural wood and the glass is shaped to fit it, each bowl has its own outline, balance and small irregularities.

Place it where the glass can catch natural light: on a console, dining table, windowsill or low shelf. It works especially well with organic textures nearby, such as linen, ceramic, stone or unfinished timber.

Use it decoratively rather than as serving ware. It can hold cut flowers, stones, air plants, a small planted arrangement or floating candles, depending on how you like to build a quiet centrepiece.

Wipe the glass with a soft cloth and mild soapy water when needed, keeping the wooden stand as dry as possible. If using water inside the bowl, dry any spills around the base straight away and avoid leaving the wood in damp conditions.

Molten glass on wood brings together two different materials in one still moment: glass made fluid by heat, and wood left with its natural ridges and hollows. In Bali, this style is often made by shaping hot recycled glass over a found or prepared wooden form, allowing the vessel to follow the timber rather than forcing it into a strict mould. The result sits between art object and useful bowl, with the kind of irregularity that feels at home in slow interiors, coastal rooms and spaces built around natural texture.

The bowl is listed as 24 cm high with a 4 cm diameter, and the piece stands 27 cm high on its wooden base. It weighs 1050 g. Materials: recycled glass and Gamal wood from Indonesia.

This is a thoughtful gift for someone who likes sculptural home décor, house plants, natural materials or a more meditative corner at home. It feels personal without needing to be overly ornate.
