Candle Holder 3-Candle Molten Recycled Glass On Wood

• The molten glass form feels fluid and still at once, like water held in place.
• Natural Gamal root gives the base its uneven, earthy character, so the piece feels found rather than factory-perfect.
• Small bubbles and light marks may appear in the glass, part of the hand-shaped finish rather than faults.
• Its weight gives it presence on a dining table, sideboard, mantelpiece or quiet corner.
• The mix of clear glass and warm wood suits simple interiors, natural textures and candlelit gatherings.

The glass is hand-blown, then shaped while hot over a piece of Gamal root. As it cools, it settles into the contours of the wood, creating a close, natural fit between the two materials.

Each piece is made with hand tools in the traditional Balinese way, using sustainable Gamal wood and recycled glass. The result is not uniform, and that is the point: every curve, bubble and root line belongs to that individual holder.

Set it on a flat, stable, heat-resistant surface before lighting candles. The candle size is not specified, so choose candles that sit securely in the glass without leaning or forcing the fit.

Use it where the shape can be seen from several angles, such as the centre of a table or a low shelf near evening light. Leave space around the flames, and never leave burning candles unattended.

Let the glass cool fully before handling or cleaning. Wipe the glass with a soft cloth, and keep the wood dry rather than soaking it in water.

If wax spills, allow it to harden before lifting it away gently. Avoid harsh scrubbing, which can mark the glass or disturb the natural surface of the wood.

Molten glass on wood is closely associated with Balinese decorative craft, where organic root forms are used as the moulding partner for hot glass. Instead of forcing nature into a standard shape, the maker lets the glass respond to the wood. That relationship gives the piece its quiet tension: transparent and solid, smooth and rough, functional and sculptural. It is a candle holder, but also a small landscape for light.
