This product features an eco-duo of recycled glass and reclaimed wood. Instead of discarding or burning these beautiful and unique teak roots, Artisans reclaim these pieces and blow recycled glass onto them to create beautiful vessels. Our recycled glass is melted at around 2000 degrees Fahrenheit. Our artisan then blows the glass onto the wooden roots at around 960-1000 degrees Fahrenheit. The roots are often burnt during this process, and as a result there may be some black residue- leaving a charred appearance in some areas. Each wood piece is then washed and treated, but this heat effect sometimes goes a bit deeper in the wood which can be expected, and may rub off when handled
