Large Molten Glass Bowl on Wood with Stand

This large bowl pairs hand-blown recycled glass with a natural piece of Gamal wood, set on its own wooden stand. Made in Bali, it brings together two contrasting materials - clear, glossy glass and rooted wood - in a single display piece for the home. Its rounded profile and generous size make it a natural focal point on a console table, sideboard or reading corner.

Symbolism

In Balinese craft tradition, melting glass directly onto a wood root is often read as a meeting of two elements: fire-shaped glass and earth-grown wood. Many people keep pieces like this as a quiet, everyday reminder of balance between nature and human hands. Because no two roots are alike, this bowl keeps its own grain, curve and shape. The matching stand lets it stand alone as a self-contained centrepiece, without needing a shelf edge to rest against.

How to use

• Display on the included stand as a centrepiece for a shelf, console table or reading corner.
• Fill with stones, air plants or dried botanicals rather than liquids.
• Wipe the glass with a soft, damp cloth and keep the wood away from prolonged direct heat or damp.
