Keepsake urn of porcelain 'Esagono' | Our Lady with Child - gold-colored edges

A presence you'll return to, every day

If you are looking for a place for ashes that feels settled and familiar rather than decorative, the Esagono keepsake urn offers exactly that. It holds a quiet significance rooted in what it depicts and how it is made.

Thirty years of Italian porcelain craft

This keepsake urn is handmade by an Italian manufacturer with three decades of specialist experience in funerary art, based in a region with a deep-rooted porcelain tradition. Porcelain is one of the more demanding materials to work with: it responds to the smallest inconsistency in the kiln and leaves little room for error. That discipline shows in every piece. The gold-colored edges and the image of Our Lady with Child are not printed onto the surface but applied through a decoration process that draws on classical motifs and renders them with genuine care and precision.

What the symbolism means in practice

The image of Our Lady with Child has long represented protection, love and the act of carrying another person through life. If your loved one was a person of faith, or if caring for others was central to who they were, this urn gives that quality a visible, lasting form. The hexagonal shape, the geometric meaning behind the Italian word esagono, carries its own resonance: a form found across nature and architecture that has stood for stability and harmony for centuries. Together, these two elements make this mini urn for ashes meaningful rather than merely decorative.

Practical and straightforward to use

Good design matters, and so does knowing that the urn will function reliably and look after itself over time.

Filling and sealing

The base of this urn for ashes is fitted with a cover plate secured by screws. The filling opening is wide enough to use a small funnel, which allows you to transfer ashes calmly and without any sense of urgency. Once filled, we recommend applying a small amount of sealant or adhesive to the cover plate before tightening the screws for a more secure seal.

Care and durability

Porcelain absorbs no moisture, does not corrode and does not discolor in light, making it one of the most stable ceramic materials for long-term indoor use. Dusting is usually all that is needed. If the surface becomes marked, a gentle wipe with mild dish soap and water is sufficient. No varnish, treatment or sealant is ever required to preserve its appearance. This urn is intended for indoor use.

A place for memory

Consider placing a small memorial card alongside the urn carrying a name, a date or a short phrase that reflects something true about the person you are remembering. Small additions like that give a shared memory its own place in the world.
