Hand Painted Wine Glass | 24 oz Yellow Mushroom Design

One of a Kind Functional Art • Hand Painted Glassware • Heat Cured Finish

This 24 oz wine glass features an original hand-painted mushroom design by Amy Bridges, inspired by woodland forms and natural botanical growth patterns.

The composition focuses on clusters of yellow mushrooms rendered in a painterly, slightly stylized realism—balancing organic observation with illustrative softness. Painted directly onto clear glass, the design allows light to pass through the artwork, shifting its appearance depending on what the glass holds and how it is lit.

Each piece is individually painted, making every glass a unique functional artwork rather than a reproduced design.

Inspiration

This piece comes from an ongoing interest in small forest ecologies—particularly mushrooms as quiet indicators of unseen life beneath the surface of the natural world.

Mushrooms are often overlooked, yet they are among the most active and expressive forms in a forest system. This design focuses on that presence in a simple, approachable way.

The yellow tones were chosen specifically to create contrast against the transparency of the glass, allowing the forms to feel both grounded and luminous.

Composition

The design wraps organically around the surface of the glass, following its natural curvature rather than forcing a flat image onto a rounded form.

Clusters of yellow mushrooms emerge in layered groupings, creating rhythm and movement around the vessel.

The painterly brushwork allows slight variation in texture and opacity, reinforcing the hand-painted nature of each piece.

No two glasses are identical—each composition shifts slightly depending on brush placement, layering, and flow of paint during application.

About This Work

This piece is part of an ongoing exploration of functional painting—where artwork is not only observed but used.

Rather than separating fine art from everyday objects, this glass exists in the space between: a usable vessel that carries image, gesture, and story into daily life.
