Handcrafted Asian Calligraphy Cremation Urn

Our handcrafted Asian calligraphy cremation urn is designed in an elegant shape, handmade, and fired using the traditional Raku method.

Included are up to 4 Asian characters hand-drawn and fired permanently onto the surface of the urn. Simply add a comment about the character(s) you would like in the box above or upload an image of the characters, or give us a call at 877-900-5309 or email us, and we will provide proof of the characters via email with an image of what will be placed on the urn.

In the Raku firing, each piece of pottery is taken from the kiln red hot, and the molten glaze is silken and glowing. Then it is placed in an airtight container in an airtight bed of straw or leaves. 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 the unique, seemingly ancient, colors and textures of raku. So, each of our Raku-fired urns is special and one of a kind.

These items are generally made-to-order.  As ceramic urns are hand-made, slight variations may exist between what is pictured and what you receive.
