Hand painted urn 'Cat' black/white

A portrait of who they really were

A generic urn tells you very little about the person it holds. If the one you have lost had a cat as a constant presence in their life, this hand-painted ceramic cremation urn says something that matters. It was made for people who knew their loved one well, and want that reflected in how they are remembered.

Crafted by hand, piece by piece

This urn is made in a professional ceramics studio where the work is done properly. Shaping, drying and painting ceramic takes patience and precision, and both are visible in every finished piece. The black and white cat design is applied entirely by hand by a single artist, using detailed decorative techniques that give the urn the feel of a considered decorative object rather than a memorial vessel. That is a deliberate choice: this urn sits in your home as a reminder of a life, not as a marker of loss.

The cat as a meaningful motif

A cat is not an arbitrary image. If you lived alongside one, you know the particular quality of that presence: the habits, the sounds, the independence, the quiet comfort of it. Seeing that reflected in an urn for ashes carries real recognition. The black and white palette gives the image strength and clarity without excess, keeping the focus where it belongs: on the bond you shared.

Personalisation options

Text can be incorporated into the painted decoration, allowing a name, a date or a short phrase to become part of the artwork itself. The artist also accepts commissions for bespoke decorative elements, such as motifs drawn from your loved one's interests or hobbies. To discuss what is possible, use the contact form and the artist will get back to you directly to talk through your ideas. The result is something made precisely for this person.

Practical information

Ceramic is a solid, non-porous material well suited to indoor display. The urn is compatible with or without an ash bag. Ceramic can be vulnerable to hard impact, so a stable surface away from busy areas of the room is the sensible choice. Handle with care when placing or moving it, and it will remain exactly as it left the studio.
