5 out of 5 starsThe urn itself is beautifully crafted and well done, it did unfortunately take almost two months to receive, but the ashes weren't exactly going anywhere so it wasn't a huge deal.

1 out of 5 starsMy transaction with Charm Ceramics has been a nightmare. I ordered 2 urns, 1 Mocha and 1 Autumn Red, on July 13. On Sept 23 the owner contacted me & said she was shipping part of my order. I told her I was going out of town and asked her to ship it on Oct 1 & she said yes.
On Oct 13 I had not received anything, so I contacted her. On Oct 16 she said she was shipping it the next day. I asked if she was shipping both urns. She never responded. Seven days later I had not received anything and I opened a case with Etsy.
On Oct 27 I received 1 urn. Etsy closed the case. Now the shop is conveniently on hiatus and I only have 1 urn. I need 2 for the ashes of 2 cats & I want them to be the same. Etsy has reopened the case.
I do not recommend purchasing from this shop & will never do business with her again. -

Frequently asked questions
Is the one in the picture the one that I will be getting? I notice variations in color of the glaze. Is this defective?
All of our products are hand made and one of a kind. Dependent on the glaze and the firing, each product is slightly different than each other, but any order would resemble the stock photo very closely. Variations and speckles in the glaze are expected and shows that our products are made by hand. In the clay world, we call these variations “kissed by the kiln.” Rest assured that we hand select each product that is sent to our customers.

Are the bowls and tumblers dishwasher safe? Can I put them in the microwave?
All tableware is dishwasher safe. All tableware is microwave safe, but some products heat up more than others- use caution when removing from microwave.
How is the urn sealed?
Keepsake urns are traditionally not sealed. The urn design is similar to a tea pot or a cookie jar; the head fits snuggly to the body of the urn. We recommend using museum putty for a non-permanent seal or 5-minute epoxy for a permanent seal.
How big is the urn? What is the inside volume?

• Small dog urn dimensions 7 1/2” x 3” x 4” with an opening of 2”. Holds 16 fluid oz. Designed to contain the ashes of small to medium size dog or dogs under 30 lb
