Molten Glass Water Jug On Driftwood 0.6L

Clear, hand-blown glass settles into the curves of Gamal wood, giving this water jug the feeling of a small sculpture before it is ever used. It is made for a table that favours natural texture, soft light and objects with visible human touch.

Glass meeting weathered wood

• The glass has an organic, softened outline, shaped while hot to follow the wood beneath it.
• The wooden base brings earthy contrast, with irregular grain and root-like form giving each piece its own stance.
• Small bubbles or light surface marks may appear in the glass, part of the handmade character rather than a flaw.
• It suits a quiet breakfast table, a sideboard with flowers nearby, or a simple water ritual at your desk.
• The pairing of transparent glass and natural timber catches light beautifully without feeling polished or formal.

Recycled glass and Balinese Gamal wood

Made in Bali, the jug uses recycled glass and Gamal wood, also known as Gliricidia sepium. The glass is hand-blown, then placed while still hot over a piece of Gamal root, where it relaxes into the wood’s natural shape as it cools. Because the fit is formed around the individual base, no two pieces will sit or look exactly alike.

Using it on the table

Use it as a water jug when you want something more tactile than a plain vessel, or keep it as a decorative glass form between meals. Set it on a stable, level surface so the natural wood base can sit securely.

Care for glass and wood

Wash the glass gently by hand and dry it with a soft cloth. Avoid soaking the wood or leaving it in standing water, as natural timber is best kept dry between uses.

A Balinese craft object

This style of molten glass on wood is closely associated with Bali’s small craft workshops, where recycled glass is shaped around natural timber rather than forced into a uniform mould. The appeal lies in the meeting of opposites: smooth glass against raw wood, transparency against grain, function against sculpture. It reflects a slower way of making, where the material decides part of the final form and the maker works with its irregularities rather than hiding them.

Size and details

The jug has a 0.6L capacity and weighs 500 g. It is made from recycled glass and Balinese Gamal wood in Indonesia. Each piece varies naturally in the shape of the wood and the way the glass settles onto it.

A thoughtful house gift

It makes a considered gift for someone who likes natural interiors, handmade tableware or sculptural pieces with everyday use. Especially suited to a new home, a dining table refresh or a person who enjoys objects that feel quietly one of a kind.

Common questions

Will each jug look the same?
No. The glass is shaped to an individual piece of Gamal wood, so variations in curve, grain and fit are part of the design.

Are small bubbles in the glass normal?
Yes. Small bubbles and light scratches can occur because the glass is hand-blown and formed while hot.
