Ceramic keepsake urn ‘Silver Heart’

A heart that stays

Sometimes a small thing holds the most meaning. The ceramic keepsake urn 'Silver Heart' is made for exactly that: keeping a part of someone close, in a way that fits quietly into daily life.

Craftsmanship you can see and feel

This keepsake urn is made through a precise ceramic process that takes time and patience at every stage. A plaster master model is produced from a design drawing, and this forms the basis for each cast piece. Once cast, the urns are laid out to dry, then carefully smoothed to a clean finish. The first firing takes place at 900°C. After that, the glaze is applied and the urn is fired a second time at 1,050°C. That second firing is what gives the surface its distinctive sheen and a durable protective layer that keeps the ceramic looking its best. This is not a quick production line. It is precision and patience built into every piece.

What the silver heart means

The silver heart is not a decorative accident. For anyone looking for a place to hold the memory of someone they loved, it points directly to what was there: closeness, care, love shared over time. Silver gives the heart a quiet, enduring presence. It sits well in a memorial corner, on a shelf, or in a cabinet; anywhere you want to be able to pause for a moment.

Made with care, chosen with intention

Ceramic is non-toxic and fully recyclable, and its production involves no environmentally damaging mining. These hearts are made by a Dutch supplier that offers employment to people who face barriers to the labour market. When you choose this urn for ashes, you are choosing something that is made fairly and with genuine thought behind it.

Practical considerations for everyday use

The glaze formed during the second firing at 1,050°C seals the surface, creating a smooth, closed finish that holds up well to everyday indoor use. Ceramic is a naturally solid material, but like any ceramic object it should be handled with care. Keep the urn on a stable, dry surface and away from risk of knocking. Under normal indoor conditions, it will hold its appearance for a long time. This urn is designed for indoor use only.

Keeping someone close, on your own terms

This mini urn for ashes holds a small portion of ashes and sits comfortably in the hand. Its compact size means it does not require a prominent spot, only a considered one.

Creating a personal place

Consider giving this urn a fixed place alongside a photograph, a flower, or an object that belonged to the person you are missing. That small arrangement becomes something more than a collection of things. It becomes a place that holds something of who they were. If you would like to personalise the urn further, an engraving plate can be added, carrying a name, a date, or a short phrase that matters to you.
