Handmade ceramic urn 'Ares' - beige

A handmade urn with a character of its own

An urn can be more than a place for ashes. The handmade ceramic urn ‘Ares’ is designed as a tangible memorial piece, with a beige surface and a texture inspired by the rugged landscape of Mars. This inspiration gives the design a symbolic association with strength, change and continuity, without making the urn visually dominant.

Inspired by Mars

Ares is the Greek name of the god known as Mars in Roman mythology. That connection is reflected in the design of this urn. The relief is reminiscent of an irregular planetary surface and makes the ceramic appear slightly different when viewed from different angles.

Handcraft visible in every piece

The urn is shaped by hand from ceramic clay and then fired at a high temperature. With handmade ceramic, clay, glaze and temperature never react in exactly the same way. Subtle differences can therefore occur in colour, texture and shape. These variations are part of the craft and ensure that no two pieces are exactly alike.

• Handmade ceramic with a characterful surface texture
• Beige finish with natural nuances created during firing
• Inspired by the landscape and symbolism of Mars
• Every piece has its own appearance as a result of the handmade process

A personal place for the ashes

The Ares is intended for indoor use only and can be used with or without an ash bag. If you prefer additional protection for the ashes, you can choose to use an ash bag. The most suitable option depends on your personal preference and how you intend to use the urn.

Caring for ceramic

Ceramic is durable and retains its shape, but it can break if dropped or subjected to a hard impact. Place the urn on a dry, level and stable surface where it cannot easily be knocked over. Small differences resulting from the handmade production process are characteristic of this type of ceramic.

Take your time to consider whether the beige colour, relief and handmade character of the Ares suit the memory you wish to give a place. If you have any questions about the capacity or use of this urn, we will be happy to help you make a considered choice.
