Cremation ashes urn 'Raku'

Every colour that forms is theirs alone

No two Raku urns are the same. The colour gradations that develop during production are the result of heat, metal and a centuries-old technique. What you hold in your hands exists nowhere else in the world in quite this form.

The Raku technique applied to brass

Raku is a Japanese firing technique traditionally used on ceramic. Here, that same method is applied to brass, producing extraordinary colour combinations that range from a soft copper matt through to deep, layered tones. The craftsmen who make these urns know this process completely. No machine determines the outcome; it is skill and close attention to detail that shape the result. Each urn carries its own colour pattern, as individual as the person you are remembering.

Made with knowledge of material and craft

Brass is a durable metal that does not rust and holds its character over time. The lid is threaded and can, if you choose, be sealed permanently using a two-part adhesive. This cremation urn is suitable for use with or without an ash bag and holds the full volume of ashes. The craftsmen who produce this series work entirely free of harmful substances, with equal attention to quality and sustainability.

Something made to be seen

If you are looking for something that does justice to who they were, the bond you shared is too meaningful for an anonymous object. This urn is made to be displayed, to be given a place that feels right. The colour gradations in the brass give the piece a living quality that shifts with the light in the room.

Practical things worth knowing

Because the coating on the brass is sensitive to the elements, this urn for ashes is suitable for indoor use only. Placing it outside is not recommended, even in a sheltered spot. For day-to-day care, a dry cloth is all you need. Avoid abrasive cleaners or damp cloths, as these can affect the coating and damage the colour gradations.

A one-of-a-kind object, not a production piece

Because each urn is made individually using the Raku technique, the colours you receive will never be identical to a product photograph. That is not a limitation. It is precisely what makes this urn what it is. You are not choosing a standard model; you are receiving an object that stands entirely on its own. If you would like to personalise it further, an engraving plate can be added to carry a name, a date or a short phrase.
