A hand-thrown ceramic urn, the Turquoise Lustre Raku Ceramic Urn has a bright turquoise primary glaze color with a shiny, lustrous finish. Families often choose this artistic cremation urn to honor someone who appreciated art or had a colorful spirit.

This cremation urn is raku-fired using the ancient process for creating raku urns. Raku firing involves removing each individual pottery item from the kiln while the glaze is still hot and molten, then placing it in an airtight container with straw or leaves that then burst into flame. This entire process transforms the glaze surface into a distinctive, one-of-a-kind pattern and color combination.
