Consolation mini urn 'Our angel'

A small figure that stays close

The loss of a child leaves a space that nothing quite fills. If you are looking for something that honours that little life, something that can sit quietly in your home without demanding attention, this keepsake urn offers exactly that. It is a hand-made ceramic piece that carries real meaning.

Hand-built ceramic by a maker with over forty years of experience

Each piece in the Consolation collection is hand-modelled from high-quality clay by a ceramist who has been making ceramic artworks for more than forty years. The bronze colour is bonded to the ceramic during the firing process, becoming part of the material itself rather than sitting on top of it. There is no surface coating to chip or fade. Every mini urn for ashes is made to order, which means this piece is created specifically for you, not taken from a shelf.

Present as an object, meaningful as a memorial

The Consolation collection draws on the same artistic language as the larger urns made by the same ceramist. The result is a piece that does not read immediately as a cremation urn but as a carefully formed object that belongs in any interior. The name 'Our angel' refers to the angel as protector and companion. That image offers something to hold onto, not as a cliché, but as a recognisable expression of a bond that words struggle to reach. Whether this is for a child in the family who wants to keep someone close, or for an adult who wishes to hold a symbolic portion of ashes, the figure gives that feeling a place and a form.

Designed for symbolic use

This is a keepsake urn, intended to hold a small, symbolic amount of ashes alongside a larger urn or as a personal memorial in its own right. It is suitable for both indoor and outdoor use.

Practical things worth knowing

Care and placement for ceramic outdoors

Ceramic is a robust material, but it benefits from a considered placement. If you are keeping this urn outside, choose a sheltered spot. Unglazed ceramic exposed to hard frost combined with persistent moisture can develop fine surface cracks over time, so some protection during severe winter weather is sensible. Indoors, no special maintenance is needed. The piece is solid and stands steadily, but deserves a calm, fixed spot where it will not easily be knocked.

Made to order, open to personalisation

Every Consolation mini urn for ashes is made individually when you place your order. If you would like to personalise this piece, or if you are considering combining it with a larger work by the same ceramist to create a composed whole, we are happy to talk through what is possible. Several families have chosen to pair the keepsake urn with the full-sized version, creating something that feels considered and complete for everyone who sees it.
