Small ceramic cremation urn for ashes, From sketch to finished urn
Small ceramic urns are undoubtedly one of the most popular types of urn. They are manufactured from carefully selected materials to obtain a ceramic base from which the different models are created. Ceramic urns are glazed in different colours, and come in many pretty and colourful designs. "Kipos" means garden in Greek.

The first step in manufacturing a small ceramic urn is to draw a sketch with the technical specifications. This sketch is used to create a plaster model as the base mold which will be used for all subsequent models. The different models are poured into this mold and left to dry, then smoothed off and fired at 900 °C. After this, the glaze is applied, and they are fired again, this time at 1050 °C.
