Handmade blue infant cremation urn with wooden butterfly

A place that belongs to them

When you are looking for something that truly reflects your child, a standard urn will never be quite right. This handmade blue infant cremation urn is shaped by hand in a working pottery where craft is taken seriously. No two pieces are the same.

Handmade ceramic with wooden butterfly

The urn is formed from ceramic and glazed after shaping. That glazing process gives the piece its deep blue colour and protects the surface for indoor use. The wooden butterfly is a considered choice rather than a decorative extra. The butterfly has carried the same meaning for centuries: transition, continuation, a life that changed form rather than ended. For a child who left too soon, that symbolism is precise. It stays with you each time you look at the urn.

Shaped around your child

Because each urn is made by hand, you have real influence over the form, the size and the colours used. Personalisation can be added directly to the piece, including:

• A name or birth date, painted or worked into the clay
• A drawing or symbol connected to your child, such as a favourite animal or a toy they loved
• A line of text, a phrase or a verse that holds meaning for your family

If your child ever made a drawing, that image can be worked into the ceramic itself. There will be nothing else like it anywhere.

Practical care for a ceramic urn

Ceramic is a durable material that holds up well under normal indoor conditions, and this urn for ashes is made for indoor use only. Give it the same care you would any considered object: keep it away from damp areas such as a bathroom, and place it on a stable surface. With ordinary care, the shape and colour will remain unchanged for many years.

Requesting your personalisation

The design and decoration of this infant cremation urn can be tailored to what matters most to you. A name, a drawing, a symbol or a line of text can be painted onto the surface or incorporated into the clay before firing. Because every piece is made by hand, you have genuine input into how it looks and feels. Please be aware that personalisation is available at an additional cost. If you would like to discuss what is possible, get in touch through our contact form and we will go through your wishes at your own pace.
