Molten Glass on Wood Vase, Large (Hand-Blown Recycled Glass Terrarium)

This large molten glass on wood vase is a hand-blown recycled glass vessel fused onto a base of reclaimed Balinese gamal wood, doubling as an open terrarium jar for plants or cut stems.

Each piece is made by Balinese artisans who blow molten recycled glass and relax it directly over a section of reclaimed gamal root wood, so the glass flows into the timber's natural contours and sets in a seamless union. Because every root and every pour is different, no two vases are alike, making each one a genuinely one of a kind, sustainable statement for the home.

Features

• Material: hand-blown recycled glass fused onto reclaimed Balinese gamal root wood.
• Open-topped vase and terrarium jar, suitable for fresh or dried stems, foliage and small terrarium planting.
• Entirely handmade, so size, glass colour and the shape of the wooden base vary slightly from piece to piece.
• One of a kind: the glass conforms to the unique form of each piece of root wood.
• Natural character is expected: small bubbles, light surface marks and tonal variation are part of the handcrafted, recycled finish.

Ways to style it

• As a centrepiece on a dining table, console or mantelpiece.
• Planted as a tabletop terrarium with succulents, moss or air plants.
• Filled with seasonal cut flowers, dried grasses or eucalyptus stems.
• Styled on a shelf, sideboard or windowsill as a biophilic, organic accent.
• Given as a sustainable housewarming, wedding or anniversary gift.

Good to know

Is each vase unique? Yes. Every piece is hand-blown over individually selected reclaimed wood, so colour, size and form differ on each one.

Is it made from recycled glass? Yes. The glass is hand-blown from recycled glass and set onto reclaimed Balinese gamal wood, so the piece is sustainable and biophilic by nature.

How do I clean it? Wipe the glass with a soft, damp cloth and dry the wood gently. Avoid soaking, harsh chemicals and the dishwasher to protect the timber.
