Finally ! The urn is finished.

Finally, after all this time, the urn is finished and glued together.
I have loved doing it. (of course!)
The little flowers on the ground lay are made with "non-ping" which is similar to an enamel but adheres better. I applied gold metallic powder on each flower centre before they were fired, and this has given them a nice sheen when the light hits them. When you look closely you can see the maroon of the ground lay through the petals which give them added dimension.
The handles have mother of pearl on them to give them a nice shine and interest, and if you could see inside the neck of the urn there is mother of pearl there also.
Enjoy!
