The unique Celtic Cross Raku Ceramic Urn is a hand-thrown ceramic cremation urn made with love by a ceramic artist with over 30 years of experience in her craft. The urn is available in two different glazes and is decorated with a large raised carved Celtic cross. Raku is a traditional and ancient Japanese firing process where the urns are removed from the kiln at their maximum temperature and placed in a container filled with straw, leaves, or other organic material. The high heat from the urn sets the organic material on fire. The container is then sealed, allowing the flames, smoke, and oxygen deprived atmosphere to create the unique textures and colors of Raku. NOTE: Due to the raku process, the colors shown are examples and the colors of the urn you order may differ somewhat but will be similar to the photos shown. The Rosensus glaze will have lighter coloring than the New Black glaze. Click on the small photo (right side) below the large photo to see the urn with the New Black glaze. Each Celtic Cross Raku Ceramic Cremation Urn is a totally unique piece of art; no two will ever be alike.
