Hand painted urn 'Peacock'

An urn that reflects who they were

The peacock is not a decorative choice. Its feathers, layered with eyes that see and remember, have carried the symbolism of beauty and immortality across centuries. If you are looking for something that truly reflects the person you have lost, this cremation urn is more than a place to keep their ashes. It is a portrait of them.

Hand painted in a specialist pottery

This urn is made and painted by hand in a modern pottery where craft sits at the centre of everything. Working with ceramic demands patience and a steady hand, and that shows in every detail here. Each line of the peacock pattern is applied by an artist, not a machine. The layered colours give the motif genuine depth, and no two urns will be quite identical as a result. The urn is suitable for use with or without an ash bag.

Personal painting available on request

The peacock design is the starting point, not the limit. If you would like to add something that speaks to a passion, a place, or a moment that defined the person you are remembering, that is possible. Use the contact form to get in touch, and the artist will contact you personally to talk through your ideas. The urn becomes not only beautiful, but unmistakably yours together.

Practical care for a lasting piece

Ceramic is a stable and durable material. Kept in the right conditions indoors, this urn for ashes will hold its character for many years. There are a few straightforward things worth knowing.

Placement and care indoors

This urn is designed for indoor use only. Ceramic can chip or crack if knocked, so choose a stable, flat surface away from busy areas of the room. The painted design is applied as part of the firing process, which means it is bonded into the piece and stands up well to ordinary dust and light. To clean the urn, use a dry or lightly dampened cloth. Avoid abrasive cloths or cleaning products, as these can affect the surface over time and dull the colours.

Living with the urn at home

The shape of this urn also lends itself to a small candle or tea light placed nearby. In the evening, the flame shifts the light across the peacock pattern and brings out a different quality in it altogether. That does not need to carry any particular meaning. It can simply be a quiet and beautiful thing in the room.
