Carved Hand with Molten Glass Bowl

This decorative piece serves as a bridge between the natural world and human artistry, combining sustainable Gamal wood with hand-blown recycled glass. Each glass bowl is crafted while still molten, carefully relaxed over a piece of wood so that it hardens into a shape that perfectly contours to its organic base. This process ensures that every individual unit is a one-of-a-kind work of art, as no two pieces of wood are identical.

Rooted in traditional Balinese techniques, these bowls are shaped using hand tools, emphasizing authenticity and a spiritual, chic aesthetic. The clear glass bowl sits gracefully within a base carved into the shape of a hand, symbolizing a peaceful and grounded presence. Within its category of glassware and home accents, this product stands out for its versatility. It can be used as a unique setting for decorative stones, air plants, or even as a creative vessel for cut flowers. Because of its handmade nature, the glass may feature small bubbles or light scratches, which add to the character and history of the piece.

• Crafted by hand in Bali using traditional techniques and sustainable Gamal wood
• Features hand-blown recycled glass that is custom-molded to its wooden base while hot
• Versatile design suitable for use as a terrarium, candle holder, or decorative display
• Unique organic aesthetic that fits seamlessly into natural, bohemian, or modern interiors

How to Use This Product

To enjoy this piece, place the wooden base on a flat, stable surface such as a coffee table, shelf, or desk. Carefully set the glass bowl onto its corresponding wooden contours to ensure a secure fit. You can then fill the bowl with air plants, succulents, or small decorative items like shells or crystals. For cleaning, wipe the wood with a soft cloth and gently clean the glass bowl as needed, ensuring it is completely dry before placing it back on the wood.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the glass bowl removable for cleaning?

Yes, the glass bowl is designed to sit perfectly on the hand-carved base but is not permanently attached. This allows you to easily remove the glass for gentle cleaning or when you want to change the decorative contents inside.

Why are there small bubbles in the glass?

Small bubbles, light scratches, or minor imperfections are a natural result of the hand-blowing process and the use of recycled glass. These features are characteristic of handmade Balinese glassware and confirm the authentic, artisanal origin of the product.

Can this be used as a fish bowl?

While the molten glass bowl is a beautiful vessel, its irregular and organic shape is generally better suited for decorative displays, terrariums, or air plants. We recommend using it for stationary decor to best appreciate its unique sculptural qualities.
