The Small Amber Pebble Vase with Etched Coral is a handcrafted treasure by Big Island artist Heather Mettler. Its rich amber tones, pebble-textured surface, and delicately etched coral motif reflect the warmth of Hawai‘i’s sunsets and the intricate beauty of its reefs. Compact in size yet full of presence, this vase is perfect for displaying a single bloom or adding a glowing accent to any space.
Heather Mettler, raised along the Kona coast, has spent over 20 years transforming glass into luminous works inspired by Hawai‘i’s land and sea. She first discovered her passion as a teen apprentice in sandblasting, later honing her craft at the Pilchuck Glass School, and ultimately earning a BFA in Glass from the University of Hawai‘i.
For Heather, glass is a living medium—fluid, versatile, and radiant when illuminated. She draws inspiration from marine life, native flora, and volcanic landscapes, blending natural motifs with contemporary design in each unique piece.
The amber pebble texture evokes volcanic stone warmed by the sun, while the etched coral design symbolizes resilience, renewal, and the beauty of Hawai‘i’s reef ecosystems. Small but striking, this vase glows when lit, bringing warmth, depth, and an ocean-inspired elegance into any home.
