Hand-painted keepsake urn 'Horse'

A horse that stays with them

If horses were a real part of the life you are remembering, that connection deserves a place in how you honour it. This hand-painted keepsake urn is not simply an ornament. It is a recognisable image of something that genuinely mattered.

Crafted in a specialist pottery studio

Each urn is made in a modern pottery studio where craftsmanship sits at the centre of every stage. The decoration is applied using paint powders developed to the artist's own recipe, which combine with a transparent glaze to produce depth and rich colour. The fine detail in each design demands sustained concentration and specialist brushes. Once painted, the urn dries for several days before being fired at temperatures between 1,050 and 1,250 degrees Celsius. At that heat, the glaze powder melts into a protective glass layer that bonds permanently to the surface, locking in the decoration and intensifying the colours beneath.

At home in any room

Because of its refined decoration and considered form, this mini urn for ashes sits comfortably in a domestic space. It reads as a piece you chose carefully, not as something that requires explaining. You can place it wherever feels right to you.

What the image carries

The horse on this keepsake urn is not a generic motif. It points to something specific: a passion, a daily routine, perhaps years of riding lessons, stable rounds or competitions. When you look at it, you are looking at something that reflects the bond you shared. That is not accidental. It is a choice you are making deliberately, and it shows.

Custom decoration available on request

If you would like a decoration that sits even closer to the person you are remembering, a particular colour palette, a name, or a scene from a moment you both knew, you can request this through the contact form. The artist will get in touch personally to talk through what you have in mind. Text incorporated into the painted design is also possible.

Practical reassurance

Ceramic is a durable material that will last for many years when handled with care. The fired glaze layer protects the painted surface through everyday handling. Keep the urn away from moisture and take care to avoid knocks or impacts. This urn is made for indoor use only and is not suitable for burning candles in or near it.

Careful packaging and discreet delivery

The cremation urn is packed with care and sent in discreet packaging to ensure it reaches you safely. Please check it on arrival and, if you have any concerns about transit damage, get in touch straight away.
