Ember and Earth

This fused glass bowl is a captivating fusion of organic inspiration and contemporary edge. This hand-formed bowl features a striking inlay that evokes the look of petrified wood, its deep tones flowing like grain through the center. Contrasting panels of off-white with ember-like streaks radiate warmth and texture, while the cool robin’s egg blue exterior provides a soothing finish that grounds the piece. The combination of fire-toned detail and earthy calm creates a balance that’s both bold and understated.

This bowl invites contemplation—of nature’s contrasts, of stillness amid energy. Whether placed as a centerpiece or used for functional display, it adds a sense of quiet strength to the space it inhabits. Every angle offers something new to notice, making it a piece that grows more intriguing over time.
