Spherical keepsake urn 'Hearts' Petrol Slib

A keepsake urn that speaks of a life fully lived

If you are looking for something beyond a container, something that reflects who your loved one actually was, this spherical keepsake urn 'Hearts' in petrol slib may be exactly that. Not a production piece, but a handmade ceramic object with its own character and presence.

Hand-formed and hand-glazed

Every urn in this collection is shaped and glazed entirely by hand by a ceramicist whose work is directed toward people who value originality and authenticity. No two pieces are identical. The petrol slib technique gives each urn its own texture, depth of color and individual surface quality. Glazing ceramic by hand requires genuine feel for the material and a precise sense of timing, and you can see that in the finished result. The spherical form with hearts motif belongs to the collection 'Is there life after death...?', developed with and for people who are looking for a different way to approach the inevitable.

What this urn brings to a home

The hearts are not a sentimental flourish. They refer to the bond you shared, to the concrete, lived love between you and the person you have lost. That distinction matters: it is the difference between an object that simply occupies a space and one that quietly says something. On a windowsill, a shelf or a still corner of a room, this keepsake urn stands as a quiet witness to what was and what remains.

Spiritual, considered and personal

The ceramicist describes her own work as spiritual, current and timeless, taking on lasting new forms and faces. That quality is present in this urn. The sphere is settled and enclosed. The petrol color is neither heavy nor fleeting. It is a piece that can sit with grief over time rather than demanding anything of it.

Practical: what to know about ceramic indoors

Ceramic is durable but not indestructible. Place this mini urn for ashes on a stable, dry surface indoors and avoid locations where it might be knocked or subject to repeated vibration. Well-glazed ceramic is not vulnerable to ordinary indoor humidity, but direct contact with water or damp surfaces is best avoided. Keeping it dry preserves both the petrol color and the surface finish over the long term. The urn is sealed via a base cap, which can be fixed permanently with adhesive if you prefer.

Unique by nature

Because every piece is formed and glazed individually, the cremation urn you receive is always an original. If you have a preference for a particular color gradation or form, mention this when ordering and the ceramicist will take it into account where possible.
