Medium Amber Pebble Vase with Etched ʻŌhiʻa
Glass Art by Heather Mettler
Why You’ll Love It
This medium amber pebble vase brings together warm, glowing glass and delicate, hand-etched detail. The rounded “pebble” form feels organic and balanced, while the etched ʻōhiʻa design introduces a subtle botanical element rooted in Hawaiʻi. The contrast between the smooth surface and fine etching creates quiet depth without overwhelming the piece.
It’s equally suited to stand alone as a sculptural object or to hold a few simple stems.
About the Artist
Heather Mettler grew up on the Kona coast of Hawaiʻi, where the volcanic earth, lush forests, and surrounding ocean deeply shaped her artistic perspective. She began working with glass as a teenager, apprenticing with a sandblasting artist, and later refined her craft at the renowned Pilchuck Glass School. She went on to earn a BFA in Glass from the University of Hawaiʻi.
For over 20 years, Heather has explored glass as a medium that behaves like water—fluid, textural, and alive with light. Her work often incorporates Hawaiian motifs, blending the natural rhythms of the islands with the quiet elegance of handblown glass. The result is work that feels both grounded in place and refined in form.
