Aether Cremation Urn for Ashes

The Aether Ceramic Cremation Urn for Ashes portrays itself with a soft spoken demeanor, with soft blue hues and a reflective crystalline finish, this urn will reflect natural light seamlessly throughout your home, giving off a natural sense of warmth.

The smooth crystalline finish is perfect for holding this urn in times of contemplation, and can bring comfort when reminiscing your beloved angel. The lid of this handcrafted art urn is painted by hand to have a metallic finish and feel to it, but despite this it is completely ceramic like the rest of the Aether Cremation Urn for Ashes.

These crystalline glaze urns have been formed on a potter’s wheel and fired in an electric kiln at very high temperatures of around 1280°C for several hours. Once a liquid matrix is formed from the molten glaze, the kiln is then cooled to the temperature at which the crystals will grow, which is usually around 1050 - 1150°C. The crystals take around 3-5 hours to grow.

When the crystals cool down, they obtain their final appearance and will not change. The modifications of the appearance of the crystals are a result of the specific chemical compositions of the glaze. The crystal formers are Zinc Oxide and Silica which combine to create Zinc Silicate. The shape of the crystals formed on cremation urn also differ depending on the various temperatures. 

A special ring must be made for each piece as well as a plate to catch the glaze that runs off, in order to protect the shelves of the kiln. This must then be removed and the bottom is grinded to make it smooth. 

Ultimately, each crystalline piece is delicately handcrafted, creating unique and original designs which are one of a kind and impossible to replicate. As the pieces are created on a pottery wheel, the size and measurements won’t be exact.
