The “Urnest” vessels are the result of a joint endeavor and in the course of product development bonded our immediate family to our extended family of artisans. An alliance that required years of technical design alterations in glass blowing, mold making, and artisanal iron work. More about the process of creation and sustainable glass blowing is listed in the Artisan Story and How It’s Made sections.

The story behind our Chrome Glass Heart bottles is very interesting and worth a read. From The Ashes . 

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.
