Spherical cremation ashes urn 'Hearts' Grey Slib

Each urn its own, just like the person you are remembering

You are not looking for something standard. You are looking for something that feels right, that reflects who they were. The spherical cremation urn 'Hearts' in grey slip is hand-formed and hand-glazed by a ceramicist who approaches her work as a new dimension of remembrance. It is not a production piece. It is a unique object.

Hand-formed and hand-glazed ceramic

Shaping and glazing ceramic by hand demands precision, patience and a deep understanding of the material. No two pieces are identical: the sheen, the texture and the gradations of grey all emerge during firing and cannot be exactly repeated. That makes this urn an original, even within a series. The heart relief in the surface is not applied after the fact. It is part of the form itself, pressed into the clay before it is ever fired.

What the hearts say about the bond you shared

Hearts worked into ceramic are not sentimental decoration. In this design they are built into the rounded, closed form of the urn itself, which gives them a different quality from a symbol on a label. They speak to love as something held within the material, not added to it. If the person you are remembering was someone who showed care without making a fuss of it, this urn carries that same quiet quality.

Part of a considered collection

This urn for ashes belongs to the collection 'Is there life after death...?', developed by the ceramicist alongside people who were looking for a different approach to grief and memorial. That collaborative process is visible in the design: it feels both immediate and enduring, and carries an intention you sense the moment you see it.

• Fully hand-formed and hand-glazed, each piece unique
• Grey slip with heart relief as an integral part of the spherical form
• Part of an artistic collection centred on originality and authenticity
• Designed and made by a single ceramicist working across the full process

Practical and reliable over time

Ceramic is a durable material that remains stable for years when kept indoors. This cremation urn is intended for a sheltered interior space, whether on a shelf, a windowsill or another fixed position in the home. Treat it as you would any hand-made ceramic: lift it carefully, keep it away from moisture and avoid sudden changes in temperature. With that level of care, it will hold its form and finish.

For indoor use, and suitable for use with an ashes bag only

This urn is designed for indoor use only. It is suitable for use with an ashes bag, and the ashes should always be placed inside a bag before the urn is sealed. This protects both the ashes and the interior of the urn. Ceramic is not weather-resistant and should never be placed outdoors or in an exposed location.
