Porcelain urn for ashes 'Maya' | Matte platinum-colored leaves

Leaves that last, in porcelain that holds memory quietly

When you are looking for something that carries a life's meaning without noise or excess, the Maya is worth considering. The matte platinum leaves on the white porcelain surface are applied by hand, which means each urn is slightly different from the next. That is not a marketing line. It is simply what handcraft means in practice.

Porcelain, hand-formed and carefully finished

Porcelain demands control of temperature, timing and technique. The Maya is hand-formed and hand-finished, and that shows in the clarity of its white surface and the refinement of its contours. The matte platinum leaves reference growth and continuity, what someone planted in their lifetime and what carries on. It is not a symbol to glance at once and move past. It is an image you can live with, one that offers something each time you see it. What grew between you does not stop because they are gone.

The compartment at the top

One of the things that makes this cremation urn distinct is the open space at the top. You can set a small plant pot there, so that something living sits alongside the memory. Or you can use it as a closed space to keep a few personal items that belonged to them. There is no right answer. It is a choice you make when you are ready to make it.

Filling and keeping, without complication

The practical side of choosing an urn for ashes matters, and the Maya has been designed with that in mind. Filling it can be done calmly and with dignity, including if you choose to do it yourself.

How the urn is filled and sealed

A base cap secured with screws sits at the bottom. The opening is wide enough to accept a funnel, so the ashes can be transferred steadily and without rush. For added peace of mind, a small amount of adhesive or sealant applied around the base cap will keep everything exactly as you leave it.

Fragility, care and placement

Porcelain is a strong material, but it is not impervious to impact. Place the Maya on a stable surface away from areas where it could easily be knocked. This urn is designed for indoor use only. For day-to-day care, a dry cloth is all you will need. If the surface becomes marked, a mild soapy solution can be used gently. Porcelain holds its clarity over time and asks very little of you to keep it that way.

A place that belongs to both of you

The bond you shared deserves a place that reflects it honestly. The Maya sits well in a quiet corner of a living room, on a windowsill or in a room set apart for stillness, wherever feels right to you. It draws no attention to itself and requires no explanation to those who visit. It is simply present.

Practical details

The Maya is suitable for use with or without an ash bag. The compartment at the top can serve as a plant pot holder or as a closed space for keepsakes. The base cap is secured with screws and can be sealed with adhesive for additional security. Maintenance is minimal, and an occasional dusting is usually enough. This funeral urn is for indoor use only.
