Ceramic art urn 'I love and lost you' | bronze & silver grey

An urn made to be looked at, not looked past

Some people leave a space that an ordinary object simply cannot fill. This ceramic art urn is not a standard memorial piece. It was hand-modelled by an artist who has been working with ceramic for more than 40 years, and it carries the kind of quiet presence that comes only from that depth of craft.

Hand-modelled, not cast

Each urn begins as raw clay and takes around four weeks to complete. That timeframe is deliberate. Ceramic fired too quickly develops cracks and loses its structure, so the process is slow and considered at every stage. During firing, a layer of liquid bronze is applied directly to the surface, bonding to the ceramic as it hardens. The result is a distinctive bronze colour that settles slightly differently on each piece. No two urns are identical.

Recognised as art, not as an urn

The contemporary forms and the considered symbolism have been chosen so that this cremation urn does not read as a memorial object at first glance. It sits on a shelf, a sideboard or a windowsill as something that draws the eye. If you are looking for a way to keep someone close without the home feeling like a place of mourning, this piece speaks to exactly that.

Practical guidance: ceramic indoors and outdoors

Ceramic is a hardened material that handles changes in temperature well, and this urn for ashes is suitable for both indoor and outdoor placement. If you place it outside, a sheltered position is advisable. Prolonged direct rain can affect the surface finish over time. Indoors, the bronze colour stays consistent and the piece remains at its best over the long term.

Personalisation options

The bond you shared with the person you have lost belongs to you alone. This urn can be adapted to reflect that. Whether you have a specific detail in mind, a personal element you would like incorporated, or something else entirely, personalisation options are available to discuss. Get in touch and we can talk through what is possible at your own pace, so that this piece becomes not just beautiful, but genuinely yours.

Take your time looking at this urn. There is no hurry.
