SKY – AMPHOREUS \ URINE

Urn Heaven

The urn Uranus was created as a tribute to memory, love and the timeless connection with those who remain forever in our hearts. Inspired by the Sky of Greek mythology, a symbol of infinity and eternity, it expresses the belief that no soul is lost, but continues its journey beyond the limits of the visible.

It was created to honor a unique life, offering comfort, respect and the feeling that our loved ones are still close to us, under the same sky that unites us all.

-The term AMPHOREUS describes a ceramic vessel with an oval body and a handle on both sides. The name amphora comes from the adverb amphi and the verb φερειν.

Amphorae were invented in ancient Greece and the art of ancient pottery is preserved and taught to this day by great potters.

They were used for centuries throughout the Mediterranean and the provinces of the Roman Empire until about the 16th century.

Important finds of ancient amphorae - with funerary performances, but also glorious battle performances - have been found in excavations in ancient tombs.

The amphorae, whose construction is distinguished even today for their delicacy, contained wine and olive oil to accompany the deceased to Hades.

Our urns are handmade ceramic vessels, painted or carved by hand with elaborate funeral scenes or great battles of heroes of ancient Greek mythology.
