How It's Made

Beautiful glass hearts born from recycled grass bottle rests wonderfully within a hand-forged iron vine stand, that is hand painted in dark espresso with a flat finish. The heart's mesmerizing cracked silver shine appearance comes for mercury paint that is added after the molten glass cools to room temperature. A hand-forged Iron Flower Crown / Cap sits atop the Mercury heart. The flower cap is fitted with a cork that tightly fits into the neck of the glass heart, and completes this recycled work of art. The glass sculpture comes in small and medium sizes.
The iron vine stand in which the Mercury Heart sits is hand-forged by our talented blacksmiths. Beginning with 1/4" thick solid steel bars that are cut into specific sizes then individual bars are heated, hammered, welded, and sculpted into an organic entirely unique Iron Vine Stand that have 8 sculpted solid steel arms to hold each size heart naturally it is as though vines have grown around the heart.

Artisanal Glass-blowing that is 100% Sustainable.
Our extended family of artisans utilize recycled glass that is delivered by the truckload from local recycling yards. Mounds of discarded bottles and other glass articles are transferred into the studio then lightly clean, crush, and heated the glass in large kilns where temperatures reach 1700˚F. The artisans then pour the hot glass into our signature designed heart shaped molds. The chrome glass appearance will appear slightly different on each heart, ensuring no 2 hearts are exactly the same.

Artisan Story

If the design of our Mercury and Chrome Glass Heart Urns have caught your eye, this may be because it is a Zenwaro original design. We have poured our hearts into designing this collection of Urnest Sculptural Hearts. What began as captivating glass art almost a decade ago, has transformed into “functional glass art” and has transcended both family and artisan culture. Each hand-blown glass decanter heart is crafted to artisanal perfection meaning that each sculptural bottle is individually handmade by free thinking skilled artisans to be entirely unique. We design and create all of our authentic glass art and vessels in partnership with artisans in Central Mexico celebrated for their creativity and craftsmanship.

The story behind our Urnest Glass Hearts is about life, it is a little bit about the experience of death. But most importantly it is about creativity, culture, and family. We believe it is a fascinating read. From The Ashes
