extra extra small size urn listing- straight canister shape with ceramic or lid cremation urn with custom name / date and custom color options. Custom made just for you as a pet urn or human ashes urn or use instead to hold special mementos or objects. Glazed only at top above the top line of text. Hand impressed lettering writing a requested name on one side and date/ dates on back side. This is not a quote urn, if you would like more text than a name and date, please select a quote urn from my etsy shop. ceramic lid will be made to fit opening, but please secure lid with wax or if you would like it to be sealed and secured.
Please specify in notes to seller box of the order transaction when you purchase (found after you add the item to your shopping cart):
-the NAME as you'd like it written (lowercase, UPPER CASE or Title Case)
-the DATE or DATES on the back side of the urn written in the format that you'd like
-selected GLAZE color, and TEXT COLOR if glaze in text option is selected.
-you can request heart, paw or flower stamps (as seen in the stamp options photo in most listings) please let me know where you would like it ( I think it looks nice centered above the name)
-customization beyond these are possible, please message me if you have a special idea you'd like to discuss. here is a listing with some possible upgrades https://www.etsy.com/listing/286676961/special-request-additions-and-upgrades
-if you would like more text than a simple name/date or similar, please select the quote urns. they have the word quote in the first few words of their listing title so they should be easy to find in my shop.
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. 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.
white glaze on porcelain clay is shown in the first photo. this urn is available with a cork lid or a ceramic lid.
Approximate straight urn size
2.5" x 2.5" - size extra extra small should fit a pre-cremation weight of up to 2 pounds (shown in photo, this is a special tiny urn made for a very small amount of ashes)
larger urns available in other listings
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.
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.
