Handmade infant cremation urn 'Star'

A place that belongs to your child

The loss of a child is unlike any other. You are not looking for something standard off a shelf. You are looking for something that honours who your child was, the particular colour they brought to your life. The 'Star' infant cremation urn is handmade for exactly that reason: not pulled from a mould, but formed by hand, one piece at a time, in a working pottery where craft is daily practice rather than a marketing claim.

Handmade ceramic, shaped with patience and skill

Shaping ceramic by hand takes patience, material knowledge and a trained eye. That process is visible in every finished piece. No two urns are identical, and that is deliberate. Each urn is finished with a glaze that protects the ceramic and gives the blue its depth. Because you have real influence over the shape, size and colour, this is not a product you select from a catalogue. It is something you help to create.

What this urn can carry

Personalisation here goes well beyond adding a name. A drawing your child made can be painted onto the urn. A symbol that belonged to who they were, a phrase you have always held close, or a likeness that others who knew them would recognise. The bond you shared, the things that mattered, can be worked directly into the form or the glaze. Get in touch via the contact form to talk through what you have in mind. Please be aware that personalisation options carry an additional cost.

Personalisation options available

• A name or text painted onto the surface of the urn
• A personal drawing or symbol incorporated into the design
• Choice of shape, size and colour to suit your wishes
• A likeness or motif that was meaningful to your child

Built to last, indoors or outside

This urn for ashes is frost-resistant and suited to a permanent place indoors or outside in a garden or another meaningful spot. The glazing process makes the ceramic resistant to weather and temperature change, so the surface and colour hold over time regardless of the season.

Practical considerations for outdoor placement

Glazed ceramic is a durable material. For outdoor use, placing it on a stable, level surface is advisable to prevent it from being knocked over. The frost resistance is guaranteed, which means the urn can remain outside throughout the year without the material cracking or the colour fading through temperature variation. No special maintenance is required beyond an occasional wipe down.
