Полиморфна стъклена купа на редко паразитно дърво

This bowl is formed from hand-blown recycled glass melted over a piece of rare parasite wood, rather than the Gamal wood root used elsewhere in this range. Made in Indonesia, the glass hardens around the wood's own unusual shape and texture as it cools, giving this piece a noticeably different grain from the rest of the collection. Its compact size suits a shelf, desk or small tabletop display.

Symbolism

Parasite wood forms are prized in Balinese woodcraft precisely because they are uncommon: the grain and shape come from growth patterns that do not repeat easily. Many people see a piece built around this kind of wood as inherently one-of-a-kind, more so than pieces made from more regular root shapes. Paired with clear molten glass, the unusual wood grain becomes the visual focus of the whole piece.

How to use

• Display as a stand-alone piece on a shelf, desk or small tabletop.
• Use for stones, a small air plant or as an empty sculptural object.
• Wipe the glass with a soft, damp cloth; keep the wood away from prolonged direct heat or damp.
