Green glass rests over natural wood like a small pool caught in mid-flow. This recycled beer bottle glass bowl on wood is part sculpture, part vessel, made for a shelf, console or quiet table where light can pass through the glass and pick up the grain beneath.
Green glass, warm grain and an organic silhouette
The glass has a soft beer-bottle green tone, bright at the rim and deeper where it gathers at the base.
Its rounded bowl shape feels fluid rather than formal, with a slightly uneven handmade character.
The wood base brings a grounded, rustic contrast, with knots, hollows and darker grain visible across the surface.
Small bubbles or light marks may appear in the glass, part of the handmade finish rather than a flaw.
It suits dry displays beautifully: shells, stones, potpourri, keys, dried petals or a simple empty moment of colour.
Recycled bottles shaped by hand
The glass is made from recycled beer bottles, heated and formed into an organic bowl before being set onto Gamal wood. Each piece is handmade in Indonesia, so the curve of the glass and the character of the timber will vary slightly from one to the next.
This is the pleasure of the piece: salvaged material given a second life, without losing the irregularity that makes it feel human.
How to style it at home
Place it where the green glass can catch natural light, on a sideboard, bathroom shelf, bedside table or low coffee table. It works especially well with coastal, organic-modern and slow-living interiors, where texture matters as much as colour.
Use it as a decorative bowl rather than a serving dish. If you are adding anything damp, oily or strongly coloured, line the inside first to protect the wood contact area.
Care for glass and wood
Wipe the glass gently with a soft damp cloth, then dry it straight away. Keep the wooden base away from prolonged moisture and avoid soaking the piece, as natural wood can mark or change with water.
