Spherical cremation ashes urn 'Hearts' Petrol Slib

Every urn carries its own face

If you are looking for something that holds genuine character rather than catalogue uniformity, this spherical cremation urn in the 'Hearts' design, petrol slib glaze, is worth your attention. It is hand-built and hand-glazed by a single artist, which means no two pieces are identical. That is not a marketing claim. It is simply how ceramic behaves when a craftsperson gives it their full hand.

Hand-built and hand-glazed ceramic

Shaping ceramic by hand demands patience and consistent, precise pressure applied at exactly the right moment. The glazing that follows responds to the kiln in its own way each time, so the deep petrol blue of this slib glaze shifts slightly in intensity and sheen from piece to piece. What you receive is a piece that will never be replicated exactly.

This urn belongs to the collection 'Is there life after death...?', developed by the artist alongside people who were seeking a different approach to remembrance. It did not begin in a product brief. It began with a genuine question.

What the 'Hearts' design carries

The heart motif woven through this urn for ashes is not decorative. It refers directly to the bond you shared with the person you have lost. That connection is present in the form itself, shaped by hand into something tangible. Placed at home, you will see it every day in the work an artist made to hold what words find difficult.

Designed for indoor use only

This cremation urn is intended for indoor placement only and is designed to be used with an ash bag. It is not suitable for outdoor use or for direct filling without an ash bag.

Practical reassurance for a considered material

Glazed ceramic is a lasting material, but it does ask for thoughtful placement. Set the urn on a stable surface away from spots where it could be knocked. The glaze is not affected by household moisture. A fall onto a hard floor could cause damage, so it deserves a place where it will be undisturbed. That is not a reason to reconsider ceramic. It is a reason to give it the right spot.

Each piece is made individually, not in batches

Because every urn is built and glazed separately, there is no stock of identical pieces. The urn you receive is the only one of its kind. If you would like to personalise it further, an engraving plate can be added, carrying a name, a date, or a short phrase that means something to you.
