A cylindrical blown glass vessel rests atop a burl teak slab, the glass mouth open and smooth, its walls varying from faintly smoky to crystal clear. The glass’s vertical form is simple and modern, a soft contrast to the rugged, organic silhouette of the teak beneath. The burl’s surface undulates with natural hollows, knots, and flowing grain patterns—small caverns and raised ridges that echo years of growth and weathering. Where the glass meets wood, the contact feels intentional and respectful: the glass cradled in a shallow depression carved to accommodate its base, as if the piece grew together.
The teak’s warm honey and amber tones deepen around the burl’s darker inclusions, creating a dramatic backdrop for the luminous glass. Light passes through the cylinder and refracts subtly, casting gentle pools and bands of color across the wood’s textured face. From some angles the glass intensifies the grain beneath it, magnifying fine lines and swirling figure; from others it reflects the room and sky, becoming a mirrored, liquid column.
This union of hand-blown glass and reclaimed burl teak balances refinement and rawness—clean geometric form set against the unpredictable poetry of natural wood. It reads equally as a functional vessel and a contemplative sculptural object: a centerpiece that invites touch, observation, and quiet moments of reflection.
Dimensions: glass is approx:
4” round by 6” H
5” round by 7” H
6” round by 8” H
