Caged glass memorial ornament

[Mr.Brown.]

Hi - I have noticed these cages on memorials (always smashed) at Anglesey that used to have a glass envelope inside the cage and some form of ornament inside - I have searched but cant find what they looked like when new - any ideas?
Thanks, Gordon.

Where exactly are these ornaments situated?
Do you have any photos of them? Or can you post a link to something even slightly similar from the internet?

They’re rather lovely.

[Kay99]

Yes they are.  Sad that the cage did not protect them from vandalism

Yes. Very sad. Some people’s actions are unfathomable. 

They look to fit with what Gordon described. You did well to track them down. I tried a half hearted internet search but didn’t come up with anything useful using a couple of search terms.

I was just lucky and searched for images using "Caged glass memorial ornaments graves"

I used similar words but got lots of Christmas ornaments and bird cages.  I admit that I didn’t persevere as I was waiting for more information from Gordon, but I’m sure you’ve cracked it.

Later versions had a plastic domed cover which became yellowish & opaque (picture Tupperware cake-takers on a grave plot).
