Oneworld Memorials Plum Blossom Ceramic Cremation Urn - Large - Holds Up to 200 Cubic Inches of Ashes - Blue Ceramic Urns - Engr

Were a plum blossom to evoke an illustration, it might be these beautiful urns, with white plum blossoms radiant against a midnight sky. Were that illustration to have a fragrance, it would float lightly in the moonlit dusk. Plum trees blossom in the midst of winter, before the snow melts and the swallow returns, symbolizing life's exuberance, an endurance through hardship, and hope that life will regenerate. These blue urns for ashes reflect the vitality and happiness shared with a loved one, and the Plum Blossom Blue Temple Ceramic Urn is a testament and memorial to it. Ceramics are made by combining earthenware ingredients, such as clay and powders, with water and molding them into desired forms. Often covered in a waterproof glaze, ceramic pottery is constructed in differing ways. Most often thrown on a potter's wheel, it can also be hand molded into varied shapes and then fired in a kiln, first to harden the clay into pottery, then to set the glaze and bring out its vibrant colors. Glazes, only after firing, become the spectacular hues seen on each finished product. Artisans train for years to learn the techniques that successfully bring beautiful ceramic pieces into being. With its distinguished and long history, ceramic has enjoyed a development that has shaped it into the expertly crafted material used today. Ceramic urns for ashes and cremation pottery are particularly suited to house cremation ashes and are durable and beautiful memorials to a loved one. Often quite unique in their design, the choices available, both in aesthetic and price, are varied and suitable for any taste and budget.
