Molten Glass on Wood Recycled Beer Bottle

• The glass has an organic, softened shape, as if it has found its own resting place on the wood.
• Green tones give it a coastal, bottle-glass character, bright in sunlight and calmer in the evening.
• The wooden base brings warmth and irregular grain, so the piece feels grounded rather than polished flat.
• Small bubbles or light surface marks may appear in the glass, part of its handmade character.
• It works beautifully where you want one thoughtful object instead of a crowded arrangement.

The glass is made from used beer bottles, melted and shaped while soft, then set onto a Gamal wood base. It is handmade in Indonesia, so each piece has its own meeting point between glass and wood. Slight variation in shape and finish is part of what makes it feel alive.

Place it on a console, bedside table, bathroom shelf or dining table where the glass can catch natural light. It suits dry display best: a few favourite stones, a small collection of shells, keys by the door, or jewellery at the end of the day.

Wipe the glass gently with a soft cloth and dry it after cleaning. Keep the wooden base away from prolonged damp, and avoid soaking the piece. If you want to display anything moist, use a small liner so the wood stays protected.

This kind of object sits between vessel and sculpture. It takes a familiar material and gives it a second life, allowing the glass to hold traces of its previous form while becoming something more contemplative. The appeal is in the contrast: cool transparency against warm wood, smooth surface against natural grain, function against art. In an organic-modern or coastal home, it brings texture without shouting for attention.

Approximate dimensions: 15 cm long, 13 cm wide and 13 cm high. The top diameter is approximately 7.5 cm, with a capacity of 300 ml. Weight is approximately 730 g. Sizes and designs may vary slightly because each piece is handmade.

Choose it for someone who likes natural materials, sculptural home accents and objects with a quieter story. It makes a thoughtful housewarming gift, a desk piece, or a calm decorative bowl for a bedside table.
