Blue Copper Fire Raku Ceramic Cremation Urn

The Blue Copper Fire is a popular urn with outstanding ceramic artistry and can be a gorgeous tribute to a loved one.

This urn is especially appropriate for display at a memorial service and at home. With the raku firing technique, each urn is unique. The ancient process of firing raku urns involves removing each individual pottery item from the kiln while the glaze is still hot and molten and placing it in an airtight container with straw or leaves. The container that then bursts into flames which transforms the glaze surface into a distinctive, one-of-a-kind pattern and color combination.

Each piece is hand-thrown by an American master potter and individually glazed. At approximately 170 cubic inches, the Blue Copper Fire Raku Urn will hold the ashes of a person who weighed 170 lbs. or less prior to cremation.
