Solstice Urns are built on an ethos of modern simplicity and enduring beauty.

We sourced our urns from makers in Portland, Oregon, who are passionate about their mediums of clay and glass. Afterall is proud to feature these new additions to our urn offerings in our Memorial Store.

1. Solstice Moon Urn – Inspired by the Beauty of the Full Moon

Echoing the full shape of the moon, the Moon Urn was created in collaboration with Portland, Oregon-based ceramicist Wil Labelle of Terra Noir Pottery. A minimal lid nestles gently into the larger body. The Moon Urn is twice-dipped in a soft white and glossy blue glaze combination, a soft white and glossy gray combination or a visually complex gray shino.

2. Solstice Halo Urn – An Hourglass Tribute to Cherished Memories

Named for the ring encircling its form, the Halo Urn was created in collaboration with artisan Lynn Read of Vitreluxe Glass. Inspired by an hourglass and referencing the passing of time, each Halo Urn is hand-blown and shaped in two pieces, then joined with a laser-cut metal halo. An opaque body and translucent top unite in a singularly beautiful presence.

3. Solstice Duality Urn – A Modern Take on Tradition

The Duality Urn was created in collaboration with Portland, Oregon ceramicist Carson Culp. Made on a pottery wheel from the centuries-old material of white porcelain, each urn features a hand-glazed interior of transparent celadon. The exterior is finished with a visually complex black oil spot or transparent celadon glaze. Each piece is unique due to its handcrafted nature.

4. Solstice Para Urn – Contemporary Elegance in Porcelain

The Para Urn was created in collaboration with Portland, Oregon ceramicist Carson Culp. Each Para Urn is made on a pottery wheel from the centuries-old material of white porcelain and features an interior hand-glazed in transparent celadon. The exterior is finished with a visually complex black oil spot or transparent celadon glaze. Exclusive to Solstice.

5. Solstice Raya Urn – A Unique Fusion of Craft and Legacy

The Raya Urn was created in collaboration with Portland, Oregon ceramicist Carson Culp. Trained at the storied Leach Pottery in Cornwall, England, Carson brings an extraordinary technical acumen to our modern design. Strong in form with a delicate hand-patterned surface, each Raya Urn is made on a pottery wheel from the centuries-old material of white porcelain and features an interior hand-glazed in transparent celadon.
