Blue baby (premature) cremation urn with wooden butterfly

A place as small and as significant as the life it holds

The loss of a baby is a grief that resists words. What remains is the need for something tangible, something that reflects who this child was to you, however brief that time.

Hand-formed in ceramic

This cremation urn for a premature baby is made in a working pottery where craft and care sit at the centre of every piece. Ceramic is shaped and glazed by hand, a process that demands both precision and patience. No two urns are identical. The blue glaze is worked into the surface during firing, giving the urn a still, quiet quality that suits a place of remembrance at home.

The wooden butterfly

The butterfly included with this urn is made from wood. Wood is a material that speaks of growth, even the briefest kind. For a child who did not get the chance to grow, that can carry real meaning: the promise of something that was here. You decide whether to place it beside the urn or keep it elsewhere. It is yours to use as feels right.

Made to your wishes

Because every urn is made by hand, you have genuine influence over the shape, size and colour. That is not incidental to what this product offers. It is the point.

Personalisation options

A name, a small drawing, a symbol or a short piece of text can be painted onto the urn or worked into the form itself. A footprint, if you have one. A name you had chosen. These are not additions to a standard product. They are the reason this urn for ashes exists. Personalisation is available to discuss directly, and additional costs apply. You can use the contact form to share your wishes, and the maker will go through what is possible with you.

Placement and care

This urn is designed for indoor use only. Ceramic is sensitive to frost and to sharp changes in temperature, so it should not be placed outside or in an unheated space that is exposed to the elements. Indoors, choose a stable surface away from direct sunlight. Both the glaze and any painted detail will stay in better condition without prolonged light exposure. A dry, settled spot is all this piece needs.

Getting in touch

If this urn feels right and you would like to talk through what is possible, get in touch using the contact form. There is no obligation, and no rush. The bond you had with your child, however short, deserves to be remembered in exactly the right way. We are happy to think it through with you at whatever pace suits you.
