The Butterfly Raku Urn is a beautiful handcrafted ceramic cremation urn, hand thrown in the Raku firing process. The butterfly image is a raised carving crafted by hand. Raku is a traditional ancient Japanese firing process used in the production of stoneware, and with the beautiful glaze finish and your choice of color scheme, this ceramic urn is an elegant memorial urn for your loved one.

In Raku firing each piece of pottery is taken from the kiln red hot, the molten glaze silken and glowing. Then it is placed in a bed of combustible materials such as straw or leaves in an air-tight container. The dry plant material immediately bursts into flame, and the “reduction chamber” is sealed. The flame and the smoking, oxygen-starved atmosphere transform the glaze surface, creating raku's unique, seemingly ancient colors and textures. Thus, each of our one-of-a-kind Raku-fired urn vessels is unique in the particulars of the design and glaze finish.  

If you need the urn by a specific date, please contact us, and we will notify you if we can fulfill the order. These are handmade urns, and as such shape and colors of each urn will vary. **Colors and finish vary considerably.**

Thank you so much for the beautiful Urn that you have made. I would have liked more copper
tones but as you said the process is unpredictable.

Sincerely

Great communication and beautiful urn

The urn is very pretty and one of a kind. It was shipped very fast and packaged with extreme care. My shipping info hadn't updated so I was worried about it arriving in time. I called the company and spoke with one person who cleared everything up and assured me it was arriving soon. No automated prompts or being put on hold and transferred. Despite the circumstances, I couldn't have been happier knowing our money went towards a real company with real people, and from our homestate of Washington! Thank you
