Crystal glass adult funeral urn ‘Angel' l SALE

An angel in glass, made by hand

Some things carry meaning before you find the words for them. This crystal glass cremation urn, mouth-blown into the form of an angel, is one of those things. Blue, clear, and quietly present.

Handblown Bohemian crystal glass

This urn is made within the tradition of Bohemian glassblowing, a craft refined over centuries in Central Europe. The process begins with a gather of molten glass on a blowpipe. Layers of coloured glass are applied by hand, ornamental details such as leaves and flowers are added, and the piece is then submerged once more in molten crystal. That final layer of clear crystal gives the urn its characteristic depth and lasting gloss. It is skilled, patient work, and the result shows in every piece.

A wooden mould ensures consistent form and volume across each urn. The surface decoration is always applied by hand, which means no two urns are exactly alike. The piece you receive will be its own.

The angel as a considered symbol

The angel form was not chosen for decoration alone. For centuries it has carried associations of protection, faith, and the belief that those we love do not simply disappear. If the person you are remembering held that faith, or if you feel that connection yourself, this shape reflects something you already carry. That is what makes the choice personal rather than generic.

Comfort you can see

The blue crystal holds light differently depending on the time of day. Placed on a windowsill or in a still corner of a room, this urn for ashes settles into the space around it rather than dominating it. It is the kind of presence that fits within everyday life, a place for memory that does not ask to be explained.

The urn is suitable for use with or without an ash bag, giving you the freedom to decide how you wish to hold the ashes.

Practical care and what to be aware of

Crystal glass is a material that rewards careful handling. Place the urn on a stable, dry surface, away from areas where it might be knocked. This urn is designed for indoor use only. The layered construction, sealed with a final coat of clear crystal, gives the piece real structural integrity, and the gloss will not dull over time. When your urn arrives, check it carefully for any damage that may have occurred in transit and report any issues straightaway so they can be resolved promptly.

A choice made with confidence

Each urn is handblown individually, which means production is necessarily limited. If you want the place of remembrance to hold something visually meaningful as well as personal, this cremation urn is made to do exactly that. Take your time with it.
