Ceramic art urn 'Love and Faith' | bronze & silver grey

An urn that lives as art

Sometimes the most meaningful thing is the one that simply belongs in a room. This ceramic art urn 'Love and Faith' in bronze and silver grey does exactly that. It holds what it holds, and no one else needs to know.

Over forty years of working in clay and bronze

The artist behind this cremation urn has spent more than forty years mastering ceramic as a material. Each piece is hand-modelled from high-quality clay. During firing, a layer of liquid bronze is applied to the surface, bonding directly to the ceramic as it cures. The result is not a painted finish but a material process that demands precision and deep familiarity with how clay and bronze behave together. From the first shaping to the finished urn, the process takes around four weeks.

• Hand-modelled from high-quality clay by the artist
• Liquid bronze bonded to the surface during firing, not painted on
• Bronze and silver grey tones emerge organically through the production process
• Each piece is individual: slight variation in tone and surface is part of the work

What 'Love and Faith' means to those who remain

The name is not decorative. Love and faith, in the broadest sense, are what tends to stay when everything else recedes. The bond you shared is not something an object can contain, but an object can become the place where that memory settles each day. This urn for ashes is made to be that kind of presence.

Art rather than memorial marker

Because of its contemporary form and considered symbolism, this urn is not immediately read as one. It sits in any interior as a piece you understand from the inside. For many people, that is precisely the point: it holds meaning that is yours to keep, expressed through something beautiful enough to live in plain sight.

Practical considerations for placement

This urn is suitable for both indoor and outdoor use. That said, ceramic responds to the elements differently from stone or metal. If you are placing it outside, choose a sheltered spot, a covered veranda, a walled garden, or somewhere protected from prolonged rain and frost. A thoughtful placement will preserve the bronze finish and extend the life of the piece considerably.

Personalisation and lead times

Because every urn is made by hand and the production process takes approximately four weeks, personalisation is a considered option rather than a quick addition. If you would like to discuss adapting this urn or adding a personal inscription, get in touch and we can talk through what is possible. A personalised version takes the time it deserves.
