Teardrop shaped glass keepsake ashe urn 'Memorie'

A shape that holds its own

Some forms carry meaning simply by existing. The 'Memorie' is a teardrop-shaped keepsake urn in deep black crystal glass, made to hold a small portion of cremation ashes within the heart of the glass itself.

Hand-formed crystal glass

Every 'Memorie' is individually hand-formed from crystal glass, a process that demands precision and patience at every stage. Because no two pieces are made by machine, no two are exactly alike. The transparency of the crystal glass means the ashes remain partially visible inside, held within the deep black colouring that gives the piece its distinctive quality. Black crystal glass absorbs light in a way that draws the eye back, quietly, to what is kept within.

The ash reservoir and seal

At the centre of the teardrop sits a small reservoir where a portion of the cremation ashes can be placed. It is sealed with a self-adhesive closing disc, discreet and flush with the form, so the clean teardrop shape remains fully intact.

What this piece is, and why it matters

A teardrop is the smallest shape that still holds its own form. Choosing this urn for ashes is choosing something that does exactly that: it keeps what is precious close, in proportion, with nothing overstated. The bond you shared needs no elaboration, and this piece asks for none.

At home in everyday spaces

The 'Memorie' is designed for indoor use and suits a quiet, settled place in the home. A windowsill, a bookshelf, a bedside table. Two things worth knowing as you consider it: the crystal glass is crafted to withstand normal indoor handling, and because each piece is hand-formed individually, the one you receive is, in a literal sense, the only one of its kind.

Caring for glass: what to keep in mind

Crystal glass is a considered material, and this keepsake urn rewards careful handling. Keep it away from hard surfaces or sudden impacts, and clean it only with a soft, dry cloth. Because the closing disc is self-adhesive, it is advisable not to reopen the reservoir once it has been sealed. This keeps the closure secure and the ashes safely contained over time.

Finding the right place for it

If you are looking for something that can simply be present in your home, at a scale that feels considered rather than prominent, the 'Memorie' is worth holding in mind. Take the time to think about which corner of your home feels right, for your loved one and for you. That is where this cremation urn belongs.
