Hand painted pyramid urn 'Coal Tit-Forget-me-not'

One bird, one flower, one thing that stays

Some objects hold your attention and you can't quite say why. This hand painted pyramid urn is one of them. The coal tit perched among forget-me-nots isn't a random image. It speaks to everything that was quiet and genuine about the bond you shared, and that's what makes this piece so hard to walk past.

Handpainted ceramic from a working pottery

This cremation urn is made in a dedicated pottery where craft and technical skill sit at the centre of every piece. Ceramic is an unforgiving material. It must be formed, dried, fired and then painted by hand with a steady and unhurried touch. Every line in the coal tit's wings and every blue petal of the forget-me-nots has been applied with a brush. You can see it in the finished piece. No transfer, no print, no mass production.

A piece that lives quietly at home

The pyramid shape and the delicate painted decoration mean this urn for ashes sits in a room without drawing attention to what it is. That's a considered choice in the design. If you're looking for something that can stand on a windowsill, a bookshelf or a quiet corner of the sitting room, this piece offers exactly that. Visitors see something considered and beautiful. Nothing more is required of it.

What this bird means for this particular person

The coal tit is an everyday bird that nonetheless catches the eye: lively, present, impossible to overlook. The forget-me-nots speak plainly in their name. Together they form an image that says: I was here, I mattered, remember me. If the person you are remembering loved gardens, birds, the natural world or simply the smaller details of daily life, this scene carries that meaning with quiet dignity.

Custom painting available on request

If you would like to add a personal image to the urn, something that refers to a hobby, a favourite place or a particular memory, that is possible. Use the contact form and the artist will get in touch personally to discuss what you have in mind. Text can also be painted directly onto the urn: a name, a date or a short phrase. Speak to the artist about what you'd like, so that nothing is lost between what you mean and what ends up on the piece.

Practical things worth knowing

Ceramic is a solid and lasting material, and this urn is built to endure. A few straightforward points will help it stay that way.

Care, placement and use

This is an indoor urn. Ceramic holds its colour, form and finish well over time when kept in a stable, dry environment, so avoid placing it anywhere exposed to moisture or significant changes in temperature. Set it on a level, steady surface. The urn is suitable for use with or without an ash bag, and the base cap can be sealed with adhesive if you prefer a permanent closure. A 24-month guarantee applies to this urn.

A piece made for the person you're remembering

There's a difference between an object that simply holds ashes and one that reflects who someone was. This hand painted pyramid urn for ashes sits firmly in the second category. The craftsmanship is genuine, the symbolism is specific, and the result is a piece that belongs in a home.
