Black pet urn 'Kintsugi' with gold-coloured paw

Pet urn with paw print
Pet urns with a paw print design are very popular with people who have had the loss of a pet. Also, ceramic is widely used to manufacture pet urns. Ceramists blend specially selected ingredients to obtain the ceramic properties required, and with this clay each artist fashions their pieces and gives them a specific finish. The resulting urn is a unique, highly attractive product.

Paw print designs are very popular. The popularity seems to be tied to how the paw print design captures the whimsical nature of the dogs and cats that become part of the family.

What is Kintsugi?
Kintsugi (golden joinery), also known as kintsukuroi (golden repair), is the Japanese art of repairing broken pottery by mending the areas of breakage with urushi lacquer dusted or mixed with powdered gold, silver, or platinum. The method is similar to the maki-e technique. As a philosophy, it treats breakage and repair as part of the history of an object, rather than something to disguise.
