Blown Glass - The Bulb Vase on Teak Driftwood
A hand-blown glass vase, shaped like a soft bulb, rests effortlessly on a sculpted piece of aged teak driftwood. The vase’s rounded form tapers gently to a narrow neck, its glass clear with subtle variations—whorls, tiny air bubbles, and faint ripples that catch and refract light. The organic silhouette evokes the quiet swell of a waterborne seed, balanced and weightless.
The teak base is left largely natural: sanded smooth where the vase meets the wood, while the outer surfaces retain the rich, weathered grain, warm golden-browns, and mineral-streaked character unique to reclaimed driftwood. The glass is fitted to a custom-carved recess in the teak so the vase appears to grow from the wood, merging maritime history with contemporary craft.
Overall dimensions are modest and sculptural—an intimate accent piece for a mantel, entry table, or shelf. Use it solo as a sculptural focal point, or fill it with a single stem, a short bouquet, or submerged seasonal florals. Each piece is one-of-a-kind; variations in glass texture and wood grain are celebrated as part of its natural beauty.
Dimensions approx: 12” x 9” x 15” Tall
