Molten glass meets pale, rugged wood in a recycled glass vase that feels more like a small sculpture than a simple vessel. The clear glass rises tall and clean, then gathers in a soft aqua pool where it has been shaped over the natural Gamal wood beneath. It catches the light beautifully, with the quiet irregularity that makes handmade pieces feel alive.

Recycled glass shaped over Gamal wood

Each base is different, and the glass is formed to fit it, giving every piece its own line, balance and character.
How to style it
Place it where the glass can catch light: on a console, sideboard, shelf or calm dining table. Its clear height and pale natural base suit coastal interiors, organic modern rooms and spaces that favour one meaningful object over visual clutter.
Care for glass and wood
Wipe the glass with a soft cloth and avoid harsh abrasives. Keep the wooden base away from prolonged damp, and lift the piece with both hands rather than by the glass alone. If using with water, take care when filling and emptying so moisture does not sit on the wood.

Molten glass on wood is closely associated with Balinese craft, where artisans pair recycled …
