I found this heavy square glass jar at a thrift shop and upcycled it into a nautical mosaic candle holder/vase/brush holder/pencil holder.

The mosaic on this heavy rustic jar is made with colorful, textured stained glass pieces that range in wide spectrum of beach colors: blues, greens, reds, yellows, oranges…

Each glass piece is hand cut, glued to a glass jar, grouted light grout and hand-painted to imitate navy-green dark seaweed color. Grout is then sealed to protect from moisture.

Every glass piece is transparent with unique texture that gives an awesome effect when a candle is lit inside. The stained glass pieces are also pretty in the window with light filtering through it.

This glass jar is heavy and would make an excellent brush holder (a gift for a painter?) or a unique, rustic nautical vase for beach home interior.

Size: 6″ (tall) x 4″ (square)
