Consolation mini urn 'Star in my heart'

A star that stays

When someone dies, children need something real to hold on to. Not a replacement, but a fixed point for the memories they already carry. This keepsake urn was made with exactly that in mind.

Hand-modelled from high-quality clay

The Consolation mini urn 'Star in my heart' belongs to a collection inspired by the work of a Dutch ceramicist with more than forty years of practice behind him. Ceramic is an exacting material, and his command of it shows. Each piece is hand-modelled from high-quality clay and made to order. During the firing process, the bronze colour bonds directly to the ceramic, making it colourfast and lasting. The considered form and carefully worked details mean the urn reads as an art object rather than a memorial vessel. It earns its place on a shelf or windowsill on its own terms.

What the star means for those left behind

A star is always there, even when the sky is dark. For children, and for adults too, that constancy matters. It gives a thought somewhere to live: the person you miss is still present, in their own way. Choosing this urn for ashes gives that thought a shape you can see and return to. Something that simply belongs in the room.

Symbolism that fits the person you are remembering

Because every urn is made to order, it connects directly to the memory you want to keep close. The bronze finish carries a quiet dignity and sits well in both modern and traditional interiors. Consider giving it a place that means something: the windowsill where they used to sit, the bookshelf that was theirs, the corner of the room that still holds their presence.

Made for indoor and outdoor use

This mini urn for ashes holds a symbolic portion of the ashes and is suitable for both indoor and outdoor use. It works as a personal companion piece alongside a full cremation urn, or as a standalone memorial for someone whose ashes have been placed elsewhere.

Practical care for a ceramic piece

Ceramic fired to this standard is strong and built to last. Like any ceramic object, it benefits from a stable surface and careful handling when moved. If you plan to keep it outdoors, choose a sheltered spot and bring it inside during hard frosts, as prolonged freezing temperatures can affect the material over time. With ordinary care, a well-fired ceramic urn of this quality will endure for generations.

If you would like to personalise the urn, an engraving plate can be added, with space for a name, a date or a short phrase. It is a small detail that makes the piece entirely your own.

If you are unsure which urn from the collection best suits the larger urn you have chosen, or simply want to talk through what feels right, we are here to help at whatever pace suits you.
