An article of manufacture that has a component capable of being sealed with a copper aluminosilicate glass. The sealing glass has a coefficient of thermal expansion (CTEs) of in the range between 20-82x10-7/° C., over a range of 25-500° C.) and a softening points in the range of 660-1000° C. The glass has a composition consisting essentially, in terms of weight percent on an oxide basis, of 35-68 SiO2, 3-25 Al2O3, 2-26 B2O3, 0-20 R2O, 0-30 RO, 2-33 CuO, 0-4 F, 0-10 MxOy, where R2O is an alkali oxide selected from the group consisting of Li2O, Na2O, and K2O, and RO is an alkaline earth oxide selected from the group consisting of CaO, MgO, ZnO, SrO, and BaO, and MxOy is a transition metal oxide selected from the group consisting of Co2O3, TiO2, NiO, MnO2, and Fe2O3. The present invention also pertains to a method of sealing the article.
