Glass Vase On Wood Base V-Shaped

• The glass sits upright in the wood, with a deep V shape that draws the eye down to the point where the two materials meet.
• Soft blue-green edges catch the light, giving the clear glass a watery glow against the warmer timber.
• The wood base is full of visible grain, darker patches and natural marks, so it feels grounded rather than polished flat.
• Small bubbles, light scratches and slight asymmetry are part of the handmade character of this piece.
• It works as a vase, but it also holds its own as a quiet object on a shelf, console table or windowsill.

The glass is hand-blown, then relaxed while hot over a piece of Balinese Gamal wood. As it cools, it takes on the shape of the wood beneath it, creating a close, individual fit. Because both the timber and the glass shaping vary, each piece has its own outline, grain pattern and small signs of hand work.

Place it somewhere the contrast can be seen: near daylight, against a plain wall, or among quieter natural objects. It suits sparse arrangements best, where the V-shaped glass and textured wood still have room to breathe.

Use a soft cloth for dusting the wood and glass. Handle it with both hands when moving it, and avoid sudden knocks, as the hand-blown glass is part of the sculptural form.

This piece comes from Bali, where natural materials are often worked with visible respect for their irregularity. The idea is not to make every vase identical, but to let the wood decide part of the shape. That makes it especially suited to minimal arrangements: one stem, a small planted moment, a simple candle on water, or empty space held beautifully. In that sense it sits close to the spirit of ikebana, where the vessel, the plant material and the space around them all matter.

A thoughtful choice for someone who likes sculptural home décor, indoor plants, handmade objects or natural textures with a refined edge. It feels personal without being ornate, and distinctive without needing a matched set around it.
