Porcelain urn for ashes 'Maya' | Pure gold-colored leaves

Gold leaves on white porcelain, for someone who deserved something beautiful

If you are looking for a cremation urn that feels both peaceful and genuinely beautiful, the Maya is exactly that. The gold-coloured leaves on white porcelain are not printed or applied with transfers. Each one is placed by hand, and the precision that takes is visible in the finished piece.

Handcrafted porcelain with real gold-coloured leaves

Porcelain is one of the most durable ceramic materials available. It does not warp, fade or lose its clarity over time, and it needs no special treatment to stay that way. The gold-coloured leaves carry a meaning that goes beyond decoration. Gold leaf has been used in art and craft for centuries to mark what is precious and lasting. On the Maya, it marks that: the memory of someone who brought colour to your life, and the bond you shared with them.

What also sets the Maya apart is the open compartment at the top of the urn. You can place a small plant there, or close it off as a private space for something personal that belonged to the person you are remembering. It makes this urn for ashes a living part of the home, not just a resting place.

Practical to use and built to last

The Maya is designed for indoor use, where porcelain performs at its best and the gold-coloured leaves remain as vivid as the day the urn was made.

Filling the urn

The base plate is secured with screws and the filling opening is wide enough to use a funnel, so transferring the ashes is straightforward. For a permanent seal, a small amount of adhesive or sealant applied to the base plate is all that is needed. The Maya is suitable for use with or without an ash bag.

Care and durability

Porcelain is a hard-fired material that holds up well under normal indoor conditions. It will not discolour or wear over time. For day-to-day care, a light dust is enough. If the urn needs more attention, a gentle wash with mild soapy water will do the job. The one practical point worth knowing is that porcelain, like all hard ceramics, can chip or crack if knocked or dropped, so handle it with the care it deserves. With that in mind, it will stay as it is for a very long time.

Making it your own

The compartment at the top is a quiet opportunity to personalise the urn in a way that feels entirely yours. A stone your loved one picked up somewhere. A dried flower from a final bouquet. A small photograph trimmed to fit. None of these need explaining to anyone. They simply make the Maya a reflection of a specific person and a specific relationship.

Take the time you need. The Maya will be here when you are ready. If you would like help thinking through the options, we are happy to talk at whatever pace suits you.
