Molten Glass on Wood – Hanging Bowl

The Molten Glass on Wood – Hanging Bowl is a striking decor piece that brings a touch of organic artistry to any living or working environment. Hand-crafted in Bali, this unique item combines recycled glass with natural Balinese wood to create a one-of-a-kind display for nature-inspired arrangements.

Molten Glass on Wood – Hanging Bowl

This artisanal hanging bowl is part of a significant trend originating from Bali that emphasizes natural materials and biophilic design. Each piece is meticulously crafted by hand using traditional Balinese techniques and simple hand tools. The process involves blowing the recycled glass into a molten bulb and then resting it over a unique piece of Gamal wood while it is still hot. As the glass cools, it hardens to the exact contours of the wood, ensuring a seamless and permanent fit between the two different materials. Because every piece of wood root is naturally different, every glass bowl takes on a distinct shape, making your particular item a genuine work of art that cannot be perfectly replicated.

This product serves as an elegant bridge between the man-made and the natural world. Its practical yet spiritual aesthetic makes it a versatile addition to various interior styles, from rustic and earthy to chic and contemporary. It provides a unique setting for miniature zen gardens, air plant displays, or fresh-cut flowers. The hanging design is particularly useful for those looking to conserve shelf space while adding a vertical element of interest to their home or office decor.

• Hand-crafted in Bali using traditional techniques and sustainable Gamal wood
• Features recycled glass hand-blown and shaped directly onto the wood root
• Versatile design suitable for use as a plant terrarium, flower vase, or decorative bowl
• One-of-a-kind construction means no two pieces are exactly the same in shape or size

How to Use This Product

To enjoy the Molten Glass on Wood – Hanging Bowl, start by determining whether you wish to use it as a wall-mounted piece or a standalone display. The bowl is designed to be fitted securely to a wall to create a floating natural display. You can fill the bowl with a variety of items such as air plants, stones, cut flowers, or floating candles. If using it for air plants, ensure the base remains dry to protect the wood and plant health. Because it is handmade, it is normal to see small bubbles or light scratches in the glass, which add to its authentic character.
