Recycled Molten Glass Vase on Wood Base

Cool, transparent glass with a light seafoam tint settles into warm Balinese gamal wood, like water finding its shore. The whitewashed base lets soft tan and brown grain peek through; the vessel rises tall and clear, finishing in a gentle, flared rim. Shaped by hand in Bali, the glass is blown and, while still warm, allowed to rest over the wood until it nestles perfectly into its contours. The lower portion flows in a molten curve that cradles the roots texture; above, the body stays smooth and elongated, catching light on its glossy surface. Tiny air bubbles and subtle ripples are part of its making, and each wood form carries knots, grooves, and undulating edges that tell its own story. Recycled glass and sustainably sourced gamal wood meet here in a calm, functional sculpture—rooted, clear, and quietly expressive. In many Balinese workshops, this approach honors what the material offers first, working with hand tools and patience to let the form appear. Place it where light can play through the pale aqua tone—on a console, low shelf, or a quiet corner. Use as a vase for a few fresh stems or dried grasses, or leave it empty as a contemplative piece that invites touch and slows the eye.
