 Gorgeous Mosaic Bowl – One-of-a-Kind Upcycled Art

 Originally a vintage sponge-painted bowl, this piece caught my eye in a secondhand store. Pretty as it was, I saw its true potential as a unique mosaic artwork. After its creative facelift, it now weighs a substantial 3 lbs 5 oz and is ready to shine as a decorative centerpiece.

Mosaic Bowl

Stained Glass and Smalti

7 x 4 inches

$150 USD 

The mosaic design inside the bowl features a mix of beautiful stained glass in shades of blue, beige and blue-green glass tiles, medium tan and blue glass gems, and blue Smalti — richly colored, traditional mosaic tesserae once used in Byzantine art. The metal oxides in Smalti create stunning depth and variation in color, making each piece truly unique.

This bowl is decorative and functional: it looks striking in both sunlight and lamplight. Whether as a thoughtful gift or a special touch for your own space, it’s sure to be appreciated for the craftsmanship and care that went into its creation.

Please Note:

Not suitable for food or liquids

For indoor use only

 

Enjoy the journey.

Mosaic Shrine - Bohemian Decor - Sun Design - Hippie Art - "Sun Shrine In A Box" - FREE SHIPPING Within US - $250.50

My mosaic shrine is called "Sun Shrine In A Box" using a clever play on words for "shrine" and "sunshine". :)

Measures 7 inches by 8 inches and is covered inside and out, top to bottom with stained glass, china and mirror.

It was once a small wooden jewelry box painted in pink with bright flowers heading towards the dumpster. I have re-purposed it into a fine piece of Bohemian mosaic art.

I used stained glass, tempered glass, ball chain, charms, broken china and mirror on the inside. On the outside I used broken china, mirror and stained glass covering the top, bottom, sides and back.

The sun was painted then sprinkled liberally with gold glitter, covered in tempered glass and outlined in ball chain. The charms hanging from the top are a few broken earrings and really cool odds and ends charms given to me over the years. I added the finial on top and painted it black.

Tea light shown is not included. Should you use a candle inside, to protect the mosaic and your surroundings, please be aware the structure is wood. Do not leave candle unattended or burn for long periods of time.

This is not a light piece of art! It weighs about 5 lbs. More photos available upon request. Comes with a Certificate of Authenticity. This is definitely one-of-a-kind.

Fiesta Owl

The newest addition to the owl family in mosaic is this 7 x 6 inch wooden owl with the funky feet filled with bright fiesta party colors in yellow, green and orange. Mirror gives him a bit of a sparkle. Isn't he cute?

Colorful and bright. Sides and back are painted in a bright yellow. Perfect for any room or occasion. Cool gift idea!

Blue, Orange and Brown Mosaic Bowl

Blue, Orange and Brown Mosaic Bowl - $55.00

I've added some mosaic magic to an old discarded ceramic serving bowl. Simple design in orange, amber and brown in glass and ceramic tiles cover the inside giving it an updated look.

I'm very proud of creating useful art. Here's a great example of how to recycle and reuse something. By recycling this bowl I've conserved valuable natural resources and saved something that would otherwise be buried in a landfill.

This awesome bowl measures 2.5 inches high and 7 inches wide.

Ice Blue Stained Glass Mosaic Plate

Stained Glass Mosaic Plate // Mosaic Candle Holder // Mosaic Trivet // Mosaic Suncatcher // Ice Blue // Decorative Plate // Housewarming - $40.00

I used beautiful blue stained glass that reminds me of blue ice around the edges of this plate. The center, a variegated glass of blue and white, gives a little detail. All blues makes this soft and perfect for many different rooms in your home.

Makes a great housewarming gift, for a special friend or co-worker, add to your den or guest bedroom/bathroom, college bound students love them for their dorms.

Mixed Media Stained Glass Mosaic Plate

Stained Glass Mosaic Plate: Mixed Media, Blue, Green, Beach Decor, Upcycled, Recycled - $110.00

This started as a discarded microwave plate (with a slight chip/crack in it). Filled with fun discarded items. When I was taking photos of this plate, I kept thinking how much it looked like a sandy beach with odds and ends from the ocean floor. Discarded items all washed to shore. I find this piece a showcase for many items; almost all of them re-purposed including buttons, river stones and two unique broken fused glass pieces. There is so much to see in this small piece of art. It is soothing to look at, very peaceful in design to give the flowing appearance of the ocean.

This plate is meant to be shown in sunlight. I used to call these plates suncatchers, but traditionally suncatchers are hung in the window to grab the light. My plates are heavy and hanging is not recommended nor do I craft them for that purpose. They look fantastic sitting in the window in a display dish holder.

Ice Blue Stained Glass Mosaic Candle Holder

Blue Stained Glass // Mosaic Candle Holder // Vase // Home Decor // Gift Ideas // Hostess // 3.5 inches - $45.00

Beautiful blue stained glass pieces add such a soft, subtle addition to any room in your home. This glass reminds me of water and reflective light. I call it blue ice because it it has bubbles in the glass. This stained glass candle holder is gorgeous.

This 3-1/2 inch glass vessel is covered in pretty hand cut stained glass, even the sides.

Wouldn't this make a great one-of-a-kind housewarming or hostess gift? Wouldn't it be great for the office in your home or at the work place? It holds more than a candle. It could be used for pens, pencils, fresh flowers ... all with a touch of class. Use it at home with a candle for a romantic feeling in your home. The candle light makes the colors of stained glass glow a brilliant luminosity. Sit it in a sunny spot and watch the purple stained glass come alive! It's gorgeous!! It would be a wonderful surprise for anyone's birthday, make a special anniversary or retirement gift.

Fits any decor making it a great wedding gift or a wonderful treat for yourself! This is a mosaic that is functional as well as a useful art piece. Votive and tea lights fit easily in this holder.

Blue and Light Brown Mosaic Bowl

Blue and Light Brown Mosaic Bowl - $58.00

I've added some mosaic magic to a sponge painted ceramic bowl. Simple design in blue and light brown in glass and ceramic tiles plus an Italian stained glass called Smalti are covered to the inside of the sponge painted bowl (circa 1990's).

Decorative purposes only. Not for long term storage for food or liquids.
