Pet cremation ashes urn 'Sleeping dog'

He looks just as he always did, resting

If you have lost a dog who slept at your feet, waited by the door each evening, or simply kept you company through the quiet hours, you will know the particular silence that follows. This porcelain pet cremation urn holds something of that familiar presence in a form you can keep close.

Hand-crafted in Italy from fine porcelain

Every 'Sleeping dog' urn is made entirely by hand in Italy, where porcelain craft has been refined over centuries. The clay is hand-modeled, dried, fired and then painted by hand, one piece at a time. No two urns are identical. You see that in the slight color gradations across the coat, and in the way each detail has been worked through, from the paws to the resting head. This is not a production-line piece.

• Hand-modeled and hand-painted by skilled Italian craftspeople
• Each piece fired individually, producing slight natural variation in tone
• Detail carried through to the posture, paws and shape of the head

A sleeping dog, and what that means

A dog at rest is fully at ease. The sleeping posture was not chosen for decoration. It speaks of a dog free from pain, settled and at peace, which is how most of us would want to picture the animal we loved. When you look at this urn for ashes, you are not looking at loss. You are looking at the years you shared, the bond that was real, the life your dog had alongside yours.

Available in several colors

The urn is available in a choice of color variants, so you can select the one that most closely reflects your dog's coat. Whether your dog was light or dark in coloring, there is a version that matches the way you remember them.

Practical details worth knowing

Porcelain is a durable material for indoor use. It holds its color and finish over many years and is resistant to moisture under normal conditions. Like all fine porcelain, it will not withstand sharp impact, so placing the urn somewhere stable is sensible. A shelf, a mantelpiece or a dedicated spot in a quiet room will suit it well. Treat it with the same care you would give any porcelain you value.

For indoor use only

This pet cremation urn is made for use indoors. Porcelain is sensitive to frost and prolonged exposure to rain, so it is not suited to outdoor placement in a garden or on a terrace. Kept inside, it will remain in good condition for as long as you wish to have it.
