Glass cremation urns begins life in the arms of nature. Sand is melted down to make
molten glass, cullets (scrap glass) being added to the mix to create volume. The
inclusion of various chemical elements into the molten glass produces the colors that
are so vivid in many of the glass urns available for sale today. Cobalt breeds a vibrant
blue glass urn, chromium the distinctive emerald green glass urns and manganese
gives life to warm purple glass urns. There are of course many other chemical
elements used besides these three, the comprehensive range of glass urns that run
through the entire
color spectrum being evidence of this fact.
Buyers may notice characteristic swirls and random flowing lines incorporated within
the bodies of the more exquisite glass urns in a store's collection. This is a product of
the large mixing arms that stretch and spread the included colorants through the
molten mix of glass. As can be seen in the resulting glass urn, this technique achieves
individual beauty that is unsurpassed.
The hand blowing process of glass urns is an art form in its own right. Hand blown
glass urns attain their shape through breath drawn from the lungs of skilled artisans.
Molten glass is captured on the end of a blowpipe through which the creator blows air.
The glass expands under pressure from the growing air pocket and so a glass urn is
born, complete with random miniature air bubbles caught on the surface of the glass
cremation urn itself. Various techniques are then employed to enhance the lines and
character of each glass urn as the object cools.
As distinctive and singular in appearance as any handcrafted memorial urn could be,
a glass urn truly has a personality all of its own. For the bereaved, glass urns have an
aura about them that perfectly reflects the attributes of the deceased in life, rendering
glass urns graceful objects befitting of their place at the heart of any memorial display.
