Turquoise asymmetric glass cross for a headstone

Glass cross for a headstone

An asymmetric cross in a turquoise shade, made to order in fused glass. The offset crossbar draws the eye up the stone and leaves the inscription area clear to one side, and the cool colour of the glass does not compete with the lettering.

The cross is made from fused glass with a hand-worked decorative pattern. The colours chosen and the texture of the glass make the surface catch the sunlight, so the colours become more intense and the decoration gains a pronounced depth.

Features of the glass cross

The asymmetric cross is made by hand in our own workshop, using glass fusing. Firing in the kiln gives each piece its shape, its size and a character of its own.

The decorative face of the cross is coloured and finished by hand, so the pattern stays clearly visible and holds its strong colour. The glass lets light through, so in sunlight the colour lights up and the pattern gains depth.

The cross is made to sit in a recess cut specially into the stone tablet of the headstone. It can also be supplied as a single-sided version, to be fixed straight onto the face of the stone with a flexible MS-polymer adhesive.

The glass crosses come in several standard sizes, to suit headstone tablets 60 cm wide in a range of heights. That makes it easy for a memorial mason to choose the right size for a particular headstone design.

Bespoke sizes

Every cross can also be made to an individual size, to suit the design and requirements of the memorial.

If you need the model shown here in a different size, or a cross in entirely non-standard dimensions, contact us. We will help you match the proportions and the dimensions of the piece to the memorial design you have drawn up.
