Molten Glass Chunky Ashtray / Candle Holder on Wood 23cm

A chunky, freeform glass vessel shaped by hand onto a piece of natural Balinese gamal wood — functional as an ashtray, candle holder, or decorative bowl. At approximately 23cm across, this is a substantial tabletop piece where no two are the same.

Recycled glass and sustainable gamal wood make this an environmentally considered choice. Recycled Glass, Balinese Gamal Wood Crafted by artisans in Bali, Indonesia. Recycled glass is hand-blown and, while still molten, placed onto a piece of gamal wood root. As the glass cools, it hardens to the exact shape of the wood, creating a perfect, organic fit between the two materials. Gamal wood is a fast-growing, sustainable tropical timber with a warm, naturally varied grain. Each piece of root has a different shape, which means every finished piece is one of a kind. Small imperfections in the glass — tiny bubbles, light surface variations — are part of the handmade process and a mark of authenticity. How to Use and Care For Place on any flat surface as a decorative piece, candle holder (floating candles look particularly good in the glass basin), or practical ashtray. To clean, wipe the glass with a damp cloth and dry thoroughly. The wood base can be dusted or wiped with a barely damp
