Handmade ceramic urn 'Ares' with candle holder - blue

An urn and a point of light for remembrance

Sometimes a small ritual can help you consciously reflect on someone you miss. The handmade ceramic urn ‘Ares’ combines a place for the ashes with an integrated candle holder. Lighting a candle whenever you feel the need can create a personal moment of remembrance in a way that is entirely your own.

Handmade ceramic with a character of its own

The Ares is handmade by a ceramic artist. Ceramic requires care and technical skill during shaping, drying and firing. This artisan process means that small differences in texture, shape and colour tone can occur. No two pieces are therefore completely identical. These nuances are not imperfections, but characteristics of handmade work.

The blue finish gives the urn an understated appearance and makes the candle holder part of the overall design rather than a separate decorative element.

• Handmade ceramic, giving every piece its own nuances
• Integrated candle holder for a personal moment of remembrance
• Suitable for use with an ash bag
• Designed as an urn and memorial object for placement in the home

The meaning of a burning candle

Light is often associated with remembrance, attention and consciously reflecting on someone. The candle holder therefore also has a practical meaning in this urn. You can light a candle on a birthday, anniversary of death or another meaningful occasion, but equally whenever you simply feel the need. In this way, a personal ritual can develop around the urn that suits how you wish to remember someone.

Safe use and care indoors

This urn is intended for indoor use only and is suitable for an ash bag. Place the urn on a stable, dry and level surface, away from direct sunlight and humid rooms such as a bathroom. Ceramic is sturdy, but it can break if dropped or subjected to a hard impact.

When using the candle holder, make sure the candle is fully extinguished before moving the urn. Preferably use tealights in an aluminium cup to limit heat build-up.

Take your time to consider whether the blue finish, handmade character and option of lighting a candle suit the way you wish to remember your loved one. If you have any questions about the urn or its use, we will be happy to help you with your choice.
