Large Cremation Urn - 160 Cubic Inches - SKU 324
This large hand thrown porcelain urn is 8.25 inches tall and 7.25 inches wide. It has a volume of 160 cubic inches and is suitable for a pre cremation weight of up to 160 pounds.
I hand throw each piece on a potter’s wheel at my studio in Kingston, Ontario, Canada. I opened Black Dog Pottery in 1998 and have been happily making pottery full time for over 20 years. During this time I have been asked to make urns upon special request and for loved ones.
Each urn is thrown and trimmed by hand then fired twice in a kiln. I often spray glazes over each other to achieve the depth of color you see in the images.
The glazes I use have taken many years of testing to develop - crystalline glazes are an especially technical glaze to work with – the crystals form unique shapes during the cooling cycle such that no two pieces are alike. Each piece takes about three weeks to complete from start to finish.
Each urn is packaged with care and attention for shipping. If you require an urn by a certain time, please reach out to me - expedited shipping can easily be arranged for an extra charge.
