Silver-blue ceramic urn

A quiet presence that stays with you

Finding the right place for someone's ashes means finding something that reflects who they were. This silver-blue ceramic urn brings together careful craftsmanship and a composed, contemporary form that sits with you rather than demanding your attention.

Hand-formed and fired twice

Ceramic has been worked by human hands for thousands of years. The Egyptians used it long before the common era, and the reason the tradition has endured is straightforward: the material is durable, stable and requires almost no upkeep. The process behind this urn begins with a plaster mould made from a design drawing, which serves as the base form for casting. Once dried, the surface is smoothed and the piece is fired at 900°C. Glaze is then applied by hand before the urn goes back into the kiln at 1,050°C. Those two firings matter: they determine the hardness, the depth of colour and the quality of the finished surface. Because each piece is hand-made, no two are identical.

The colour carries meaning

Silver-blue is not a neutral choice. Blue has long been associated with stillness, depth and continuity. For someone you loved, that colour can express what words tend to fall short of: that the bond you shared does not simply end, but changes in form. The urn holds its place in a room as something that belongs there, settling naturally into your home rather than standing apart from it.

Suitable for use with or without an ash bag

This cremation urn is suitable for use with or without an ash bag, giving you full flexibility in how you choose to keep the ashes. That choice is yours, and it is one less thing to have to consider at a difficult moment.

Practical considerations for ceramic indoors

Ceramic is a strong and stable material. Because this urn is designed for indoor use, weathering is not a concern. It is worth placing it on a firm, level surface away from areas where it might be knocked, as ceramic can crack from a hard fall. The glazed surface is easy to clean with a dry cloth or one that is very slightly damp. Beyond that, the urn needs no maintenance at all.

Choosing where it lives in your home

This urn for ashes sits comfortably as an object in its own right. A windowsill, a mantelpiece, a bookshelf: the quiet silver-blue tone works across many settings without drawing focus away from the room around it. If you would like to add a personal touch, an engraving plate can be added to carry a name, a date or a short phrase that meant something to the person you are remembering.
