Urns are made of clay and glaze color that you specify, see the second photo for color choices. Only the upper portion that is glazed will be the glaze color that you select, the lower portion will remain the unglazed clay. All sizes and proportions are approximate and will vary slightly as they are all handmade.The text on the piece is hand impressed with individual letter stamps (not engraved by computer), so the stamping and spacing and justification/ centering of the text will all have a hand impressed, and imperfect quality to it, as seen in the photos of all of urn samples.
The option for colored text is for glaze infilled into the impressed text as shown in the third photo. There is no charge for this option and you can select your choice of colors for the text glaze. On the lighter colored clay, a darker glaze in the text might leave some residue around the text from the text glaze application process.
The urn shown in the first photo is white porcelain with white glaze.
Approximate collared quote urn size
3" x 3.75" - Size Extra Small (For pre-cremation weight up to 5 pounds) (up to 50 characters)
3.25" x 4.25" - Size Small (For pre-cremation weight up to 20 pounds) (up to 75 characters)
4" D x 5.5" H - Size Medium (For pre-cremation weight up to 40 pounds) (up to 100 characters)
medium large, large, and extra large available in other listings in my etsy shop
If you are close to the maximum volume of the urn I would recommend ordering a larger size urn if you want to ensure that the ashes fit. Ash volume can vary and might not calculate to the approximate 1 cubic inch of volume equals 1 pound of pre-cremation weight. For Hydro Cremation, there will be 20% more volume of ashes and please multiply 1.2 to the pre-cremation weight to select the urn size. I would always suggest ordering one size up if have any concerns about the urn size.
Please be sure to COUNT the number of characters in your quote before ordering. The character count includes spaces. I can sometimes fit more characters on an urn but the text might wrap more on the back side, or go much higher up the face of the urn if you exceed this character count.
You can request any quote or text for your urn, please check the character count to make sure it will fit. Quote shown on this urn selected by a previous customer:
"If I could live my life over again, I would have found you sooner, so I could have loved you longer."
This quote has 100 characters and will only fit on the size medium.
this is MADE TO ORDER and will take me the time listed in the shipping tab to make it for you.

these are handmade and do not have industrial perfection. small imperfections are all a part of these handmade pieces. these glazes are food safe and lead free. as with ALL handmade ceramics, I do not recommend putting them in the microwave, oven or dishwasher (unless on the delicate cycle). they are handmade of very limited quantity, so please use them with care. avoid contact with staining foods on unglazed exterior surfaces.
vitrifiedstudio is a tiny one person home based ceramics studio . all purchases will be shipped on my one shipping day a week, and will take time to process the order and pack before I can send it to you. there are no guarantees on when it will be delivered, if you need it in a rush let me know when you place the order. Items that are custom made or made to order all take weeks to make, dry, fire, glaze, and fire again. Sometimes if they get damaged during one of those stages I will need to make it again and the item will be delayed, or I might offer you a discount for the late delivery.
