Hand-Painted Glass and Bottle Art
Turning discarded glass into vibrant home decor. Each bottle is hand-painted with acrylics or glass stains, blending traditional Indian motifs with modern, sun-catching effects.
This bottle features a delicate design of butterflies and flowers, painted to create a stained-glass effect. The transparency of the glass makes the colors come alive in the light.

Holding the butterfly bottle up to the sky really shows off the stained-glass effect. The colors are so vibrant against the blue.
This bottle has a completely different feel, with a bubbling texture in a fiery gradient of yellow, orange, and red. It's a very tactile and abstract piece.

About this collection
These pieces are more than just shelf decor. I seal every bottle with a specialized protective varnish, so the vibrant acrylics and intricate details won't peel or fade over time. You can safely wipe them down, making them perfect as functional vases, table lamps, or a bright pop of colour on your workspace.
I started painting bottles because I hate seeing good glass go to waste. It is my way of giving something discarded a new life. Every bottle you see in this collection is upcycled, cleaned, and hand-painted, meaning no two pieces are ever truly identical.
How I Work With Glass
I use a few different techniques depending on the mood I want to create:
- Stained-Glass Effects: For pieces that need to glow, I use transparent glass paints. When you place these near a window or in direct sunlight, they cast beautiful, coloured patterns in the room.
- Dot Mandala & Stippling: This is my meditative practice. Using acrylics, I create dense, intricate patterns that turn a simple bottle into a textured statement piece.
- Thematic Scenery: Sometimes, I just let the brush take over, painting desert landscapes, cactus scenes, or yoga-inspired silhouettes.
Practical Details
Most of these are made-to-order, so if you see a specific style you love, I can replicate that theme on a different bottle shape. Because these are hand-painted, the process usually takes about 7 to 10 days to ensure the paint cures correctly and the varnish is fully set. Whether you are looking for a unique gift or a piece of decor that actually tells a story, I am happy to chat about your ideas. And yes, I ship these securely packed in bubble wrap to anywhere in India, or internationally if you are abroad.
