Pet cremation ashes urn 'Tennis ball with pawprint'

A tennis ball and a pawprint, two things that say everything

If your dog lit up the moment a ball appeared, or left a pawprint on the sofa cushion you still haven't moved, you already understand why this urn exists. Not as decoration. As recognition.

Hand-modelled by a craftsman with over 40 years of experience

This pet cremation urn is shaped entirely by hand from high-quality clay by a single artist who has been making ceramic works for more than four decades. He knows the material completely. During the firing process, a liquid bronze layer is applied over the ceramic, bonding to the surface and giving the urn its distinctive bronze tone. From the first modelling to the final firing, the process takes around four weeks. That is not production time. That is four weeks of individual attention, and you see it in every piece. No two urns are identical.

What the tennis ball and the pawprint stand for

The tennis ball points to something specific: the play, the energy, the particular joy your dog had at every throw. The pawprint is what remains. Together they tell a story you recognise immediately, without needing a word of explanation. That is what sets this urn apart from a plain container. It is an image that fits, for that dog, for the bond you shared.

At home in the house, honest about what it is

The considered shape and bronze colouring mean this urn reads as an art object rather than immediately as a cremation urn. That gives you the freedom to place it wherever feels right, without visitors expecting an explanation from you.

Suitable for indoor and outdoor use

This urn for ashes can be used indoors and outdoors. Ceramic with a fired bronze layer holds up well against normal weather conditions. That said, prolonged exposure to frost or sustained damp can affect the surface over time, so a sheltered outdoor position is advisable if the urn is to be kept outside.

Personalisation options

If you would like to personalise the urn to reflect something specific about your dog, whether a detail tied to a shared habit, a favourite place, or simply a name, that is something we can talk through. Personalisation is available as an option, and the possibilities are worth exploring together.

Take your time with it. If this urn feels right, that is not a coincidence.

If you would like help deciding on personalisation or placement, we are happy to think it through with you at your own pace.
