Calvary Celtic Cross Cremation Urn – XL – Yellow Gorse (Base is extra)

Design Influence

If you are searching for an Urn that represents Ireland and being Irish, this collection of Irish handcrafted Urns will make you proud. This elegant Irish Urn for ashes is named after the Calvary shrine in Omeath, a place of pilgrimage along Carlingford lough in County Louth. The Calvary Urn is a piece of art in itself as it is unique and a celebration of what it is to be Irish; proud, strong, elegant, and eternal. This design, created by one of our top artisans Ciarán, is an interpretation of a Celtic cross. It is interlaced with ancient knot-work with a Celtic sun ring behind it. The Calvary Celtic Cross Cremation Urn represents our Celtic and Christian identity which is so unique to our Irish heritage. The Celtic knot on the collar represents how we are all bound together for eternity. An option to add to 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.

Urn Color

The colours are earthy so they represent the timeless beauty found in the nature of Ireland. Our artisan mixes his own glazes and calls this Cooley Summer yellow of barley fields, gorse and heather-covered mountains.

Artisan

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 colours 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, 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 colours 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 colours 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 colours 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 (The Irish Prime Minister) and also the President of Ireland. "Tá súil agam go dtabharfaidh mo chuid oibre sólás mór duit ag am deacair. Tá ár gcroí agus ár n-intinn leat. Ciarán." I hope that my work brings you great comfort at a difficult time. Our hearts and minds are with you. Ciarán.
