These containers areRaku originated from ancient Japanese firings where glazed pieces are rapidly fired and removed from the kiln when the glaze is molten (1000 C). The hot pieces are then put straight into sawdust for smoking. The raku process is dramatic and unpredictable and it ensures that no two pieces are ever the same.
These elegant one off pieces of art make precious keepsake containers for your loved one's ashes, whether human ashes or pet ashes. Many people like to divide the ashes up into smaller containers so the ashes can be shared with other family members and friends, some people like to also divide the ashes into smaller keepsake urns so they can have them in each room of the house. These keepsake urns go beautifully with our Memorial Posey Vases.
