Our Elephant sculpture is a mainstay in our collectable Animal glass art product line.
Acting as a small addition to the house, or providing a centrepiece which is sure to draw attention from visitors, due to its beauty and flawless outline.
The glass elephant is an intricate product to make, sculpting the glass in one continuous motion to create the elegant shape of the ornament.
The glass is gathered and then meticulously pulled in a timing masterpiece, whilst fighting the weight of gravity. First the ears and body are shaped, which then leaves the trunk to be pulled and stretched.
Where the glass gets thinner, when pulled, it begins cooling down much faster meaning the final shaping of the trunk can be the most difficult. However the results are beautiful creating this stunning glass elephant paperweight.
This product is handblown in our seaside studio in Weymouth, Dorset by master glass blower Stuart Wiltshire.
I make these myself.
I only make one order at a time, placing the ashes into a metal tray, then gathering the molten glass and first adding any colours you have chosen.
When I have melted these to the surface of the glass, I reheat the glass then pick up a small amount of ashes, (about half a teaspoon full) for a paperweight, but need a bit more to make sure I have enough, returning any left over with your order.
I then mix the ashes and colour together in my Glory hole at about 1180 degrees C into swirls and patterns. I then cool the first part down to about 650 degrees and gather molten 1120 degrees glass over the top encasing the ashes inside.
I then hand-shape and make this into your chosen piece, whether it be a paperweight, candle holder, heart paperweight, small Vortex vase or even a heart shaped sculpture.
I assure you, your chosen piece will be made with the upmost respect and passion. as I have a serious love for glass-making and making people happy using the skills I have been lucky enough to learn and share.
I will need about a tablespoon of ashes and will return any left over with your order. Check amounts with me if ordering multiple items.
You can place your order on the web site or email me with your colour preference and I will send you some pictures of the closest colours I have.
Please put your ashes in a secure bag or small tub with your name and number marked onto the ashes container and post to:
F.A.O Stuart Wiltshire Glass, 18 Saint Nicholas Street, Weymouth, DT4 8AA, 07860541838

HAND-BLOWN
Our Glass Elephant Sculptures capture the spirit of this gentle giant, symbolising strength, wisdom, and a deep sense of connection. Each piece is painstakingly hand-formed, its curves and contours reflecting both the artist’s skill and the elephant’s innate grace. Light dances within the glass, revealing subtle variations of colour and pattern that make every sculpture a personal treasure. Whether showcased in a sunlit window or displayed under delicate indoor lighting, this timeless piece enriches any space with both beauty and meaning. More than an ornament, our Glass Elephant Sculpture is a tribute to life’s enduring bonds and the artistry that keeps them shining bright.
