Handmade keepsake urn 'Tolos Rigatte' Petrol Slib

Every piece is made once, by hand, for no one in particular, and somehow fits perfectly

When a standard product feels too anonymous for the person you are remembering, that feeling is worth listening to. The Tolos Rigatte in petrol slib is a handmade keepsake urn shaped by a ceramicist who has spent years developing a personal language of form and meaning. No two pieces leave the studio the same way.

Hand-formed ceramic, unique by nature

Working ceramic by hand demands both precision and patience, and the slib technique used here builds up a layered, tactile surface you can see as well as feel. The petrol-green colour is not applied as a flat glaze. It develops its own character in the kiln, which means the tone and depth of each piece settles differently. The keepsake urn you receive exists in that exact form nowhere else.

In the ceramicist's own words

'Giving shape to a work of art with your hands, and creating something new in doing so, has become an essential part of my life. Every mini urn for ashes is a unique piece, made entirely by hand. Because of that, every work carries a different part of myself.'

These are not marketing words. They describe a way of working in which the maker's attention becomes part of the object itself. What you are keeping holds not only the memory of someone you loved, but also the care of the person who made the urn.

Practical and reliable for everyday use

Ceramic urns raise reasonable questions about durability. Here is a straightforward answer.

Designed for indoor placement

The Tolos Rigatte is made for a settled spot indoors: a windowsill, a shelf, a quiet corner of a room. Ceramic is sensitive to impact, and placing it outside would expose it to moisture and temperature changes that the material is not suited to withstand. Kept in a dry, sheltered position inside your home, this cremation urn holds its form and colour reliably over time.

Finding the right place for it

Petrol green has a quiet depth to it. It settles into a space without disappearing from it, which makes this urn easy to place among photographs, on a dedicated surface, or simply somewhere it will be seen each day. Because every piece is unique, the spot you choose for it feels like a considered decision rather than a practical one.

If you would like the urn to carry something more specific, personalisation is available. An engraving plate can be added, with space for a name, a date or a short phrase that belonged to them. It is worth asking about a complementary memorial object too, if you would like to build something that feels entirely your own.

If you would like help choosing a personalisation option or thinking through where to place the urn, we are happy to talk it through with you at your own pace.
