Handmade Ceramic Teardrop Keepsake Urn 'Ohm' – Green-Blue

A teardrop in ceramic, shaped by hands that understand care

If you are looking for something that can hold both grief and beauty at once, the 'Ohm' keepsake urn goes beyond its appearance. The teardrop form is not an arbitrary choice. It speaks to parting itself, to what moves through us when words fall short. The name 'Ohm' draws from a sound used across spiritual traditions to signify connection and continuity. Together, the shape and the name hold the loss and the bond you shared in a single, quiet piece of ceramic.

How this urn is made

Ceramic demands patience. This mini urn for ashes is built by hand, then dried slowly to prevent cracking, then fired twice. The first firing reaches around 950°C to harden the clay. Glaze is applied by hand, and a second firing at around 1,200°C fuses it to the surface. The result is a sealed, lustrous finish where the colour is not sitting on the urn but set into it.

What the green-blue colour carries

Green appears in many traditions as a symbol of growth and continuity, and of stillness after movement. If the person you are remembering found meaning in nature, in quiet, or in a sense of belonging, this colour reflects something of who they were. You might place the urn beside a plant they loved, near a window that looks out onto a garden, or on a shelf where they used to sit. The colour becomes part of that context.

Practical things worth knowing

Ceramic is a durable material, and the glazed surface resists moisture and dust. A dry cloth is all you need to keep it clean. Choose a stable indoor surface away from any persistent damp, such as a windowsill near a leaking frame or a bathroom shelf. Positioned well indoors, this cremation urn will hold its finish for many years.

Each piece is genuinely different

Because glaze reacts naturally during firing, every urn comes out of the kiln with its own variation in colour depth and surface sheen. This is not inconsistency. It is the mark of handwork. No two pieces are the same, just as no two lives were.

Choosing with confidence

The 'Ohm' is a keepsake urn designed to hold a portion of cremation ashes. It is made with attention, carries real meaning, and settles quietly into a home without demanding notice. If you would like to personalise it, engraving options can be discussed when you order. Take the time you need, and choose what fits the person you are remembering.
