Each Blackberry Raku Ceramic Cremation Urn is uniquely designed and handcrafted by a ceramic artist in the USA, using real blackberry leaves and berries. Our ceramic artist individually produces each urn by hand, which is impressed with actual blackberries and leaves, then covered with a crackle glaze and then Raku fired, resulting in a natural-looking and earthy cremation urn for your loved one.

In Raku firing, each cremation urn is taken from the kiln red hot, the molten glaze silken and glowing. Then it is placed in a bed of 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 funeral urns is unique in the particulars of the design and glaze finish.

These ceramic urns are generally made-to-order. Please allow time for production. 

Notes

**Colors and finish vary considerably.** While the shape of the urn and any design will be the same as what you see pictured above, the actual patterns of coloration on the urn's surface will be unique to each piece, making it a one-of-a-kind memorial.

The pictures don't do it justice

It's really really beautiful. My Amy loved picking blackberries ever since she was a child and through adulthood. I think this is something she would have picked for herself. It feels really well made and the blackberries are beautiful. I don't think their own pictures do it justice.

Beautiful!

A perfect resting place for my mother’s ashes which were shared between her three children. I was happy there was a smaller size to accommodate the amount I have. I love it!!!

Mom’s Blackberries

I was looking for a Raku fired urn for my mother in her recent passing. This Japanese firing technique leads to a beautiful, unique product with lots of color. Then I saw this blackberry urn. They are hand designed by local artists, which I knew my mom would appreciate, especially being an artist herself. She lived in California, but used to love how blackberries grew all over Washington state. When we used to take hikes, she would pick the berries. It was something that always reminded me of her. After asking a few questions, I decided that this was the urn we needed. It was fired using the Raku technique and when you opened the urn, you could see the beautiful colors bursting through. You could actually touch the stems and leaves and even feel the imprint of the blackberries themselves on the cracked glazed finish. I talk to my mom daily and touch the urn and give her a kiss and it brings a little bit of peace to me that she is there where I know she would love to be in the beautiful and unique urn.

Absolutely beautiful

I was immediately taken with this urn the moment I saw it. It’s perfect for my husband who was a gardener and had a deep love of Japan and Japanese culture. The urn has beautiful color and texture and is a fitting resting place for him. The staff made sure I could get one in ample time for his service.

My Sweetheart’s resting place

Suke loved to pick blackberries and make jam of them. This urn was the perfect match for my love. It was beautifully made and fit her perfectly. I could not believe the color and finish were so vibrant.
