Heart and Bow Pet Urns

This design pairs a sculpted ribbon bow at the neck of the jar with your pet's name engraved into the clay on the front, and a small heart worked somewhere into the piece. It is ordered most often for cats.

Heart & Bow ceramic pet urn with a hand-sculpted figurine on the lid

Why people choose heart & bow

A bow is a small act of dressing something up, and it carries a particular kind of affection — the sort where you buy your cat a collar they will obviously refuse to wear.

The engraved name matters more than the bow to most people who order this. Cut into clay before firing, it becomes part of the object rather than a label on it, and there is no version of the future where it rubs off.

Product images are digital visualisations, not photographs of finished pieces. Every piece is genuinely made by hand in our studio, and because of that yours will differ from what you see here.

Yours will differ — each figurine is sculpted from your own pet's photos.

How this design is made

The bow is rolled from a thin sheet of clay and folded while wet, then supported with small clay props until it holds its own shape. The props are removed before firing and their marks are hidden under the knot.

Names are cut with a stylus, not stamped, so letter spacing is judged by eye against the curve of the jar. Longer names get a shallower curve.

Glaze pools in the cut letters and darkens them, which is what makes the name legible from across a room without any paint.
