Melted Glass Bowl on Wood Stand

Clear molten glass rests over a rugged Gamal wood stand, creating a sculptural glass bowl that feels shaped by both fire and nature. The rim catches the light softly, while the wood below brings rough grain, hollows and earthy contrast. Use it as a centrepiece for air plants, stones, cut flowers or floating candles, and let the object do as much as it holds.

Glass, grain and light

The glass has a clear, gently blue-green edge, so it feels airy rather than heavy on a shelf or table.

The rounded bowl form softens the rugged wood beneath it, giving the piece a calm organic-modern look.

Natural hollows and raised ridges in the stand remain visible through the glass, adding depth from every angle.

Small bubbles or light marks may appear in the glass, part of the handmade character of this style.

It suits simple styling: a few stems, a quiet air-plant arrangement, smooth stones, or a floating candle.

Recycled glass shaped over Gamal wood

Each piece is crafted by hand in Bali from recycled glass and Balinese Gamal wood. The glass is hand-blown, then relaxed while hot over the wood so it hardens into the contours below. Because the base is natural wood and the glass is shaped to fit it, each bowl has its own outline, balance and small irregularities.

Ways to style it

Place it where the glass can catch natural light: on a console, dining table, windowsill or low shelf. It works especially well with organic textures nearby, such as linen, ceramic, stone or unfinished timber.

Use it decoratively rather than as serving ware. It can hold cut flowers, stones, air plants, a small planted arrangement or floating candles, depending on how you like to build a quiet centrepiece.

Care for glass and wood

Wipe the glass with a soft cloth and mild soapy water when needed, keeping the wooden stand as dry as possible. If using water inside the bowl, dry any spills around the base straight away and avoid leaving the wood in damp conditions.
