Molten Glass on Wood Candle Holder & Ashtray, 23cm (Recycled Glass)

This is a molten glass on wood candle holder and ashtray, a chunky 23cm piece of hand-blown recycled glass fused over a solid base of reclaimed Balinese gamal wood.

Each one is made by hand in Indonesia. Molten recycled glass is blown while still hot and allowed to relax directly over the gamal wood, settling into the natural grain and contours as it cools. The result is thick, flowing curves and a clear textured glass well that catches the light. Because the glass is shaped by hand and never forced into a mould, every piece is genuinely one of a kind, with its own shape, ripples and character.

Good to know

Is each piece unique? Yes. The glass is hand-blown and freely shaped over the wood, so no two are identical in form, colour or texture.

Is it really recycled glass? Yes. The glass is recycled and melted down before being blown over reclaimed gamal wood, making it a sustainable, biophilic choice.

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