Bean na h-Éireann Cremation Urn in Gorse Yellow (Oak Base is extra)



Design Influence

Ireland is often represented as a woman on the ancient Irish Harp which is unique to our Celtic Irish heritage. This elegant Irish Cremation Urn is named as a celebration of the“ woman of Ireland” or Bean na h-Éireann in Gaelic (Ban na hairin) and is also attributed to the many prominent Irish women our culture has produced throughout history such as Ériu and more recently president Mary Mc Aleese.

Our Urn for human ashes marries together the iconic harp symbol of Ireland with its beauty, form and grace.

A Celtic collar knot represents how the Irish are all bound together for eternity.

This Urn has a beautiful feel and texture and you will clearly see the hand-thrown nature of the piece.

An optional extra with the Urn is a handmade Oak plinth - Created by an Irish National award-winning Wood turner. There is also an option to arrange an engraving on request. See sample image.

Colors Available

The colors are earthy so they represent the timeless beauty found in the nature of Ireland and its seas.

Our artisan mixes his own glazes and calls this Cooley Summer yellow of barley fields, gorse and heather-covered mountains that surround his home.

Ciarán- Artist, Ceramicist, designer

Ciarán, an Irish language speaker has a love of Irish history and design. He ties his Irish heritage creations with his own glazes for his Celtic Cremation Urns. A range of locally inspired colors fired in his self-made kiln. Ciarán studied and lectured in Art and Design as well as being a highly regarded Ceramicist for the last 30 years. He lives with his family on the banks of the historical Carlingford Lough. Image below is some detailing on the Bean na heireann Irish Harp Urn
Carlingford, one of the most beautiful places in Ireland. The Cooley Mountains on one side and ’ the mountains of Mourne sweep down to the sea’ on the other. Each of his Celtic Cremation Urns represents our history, our people and the colors found on land and sea. As Ciarán says, “they are each an expression of Ireland”. Ciarán walked the coast, fields, and mountains looking for the colors he wanted to inspire his glazes. He then went about mixing and testing the glazes to match his imagination. According to Ciarán you need to be as much a Chemist as a Ceramicist to get it just right. He spent months and months perfecting the colors that don’t truly show themselves until after firing. The combination of form, design, and the glaze has made his unique pieces much sought after. His work has been commissioned and presented to many dignitaries including An Taoiseach -Our Leader -The Irish Prime Minister and also the President of Ireland.
