I noticed that the UrnBit actor goes to a different fade state for each of its' sprite variants. But ZDoom allows you to use ##### characters in place of normal sprite names and/or frames, and that special name will make the state it's used in show the last proper sprite name and/or frame. So for example this:
Code:
Urn1:                 MBIT F 140             Urn1Check:                 MBIT F 16 A_CheckSight ("Urn1Fade")                 Loop             Urn2:                 MBIT G 140             Urn2Check:                 MBIT G 16 A_CheckSight ("Urn2Fade")                 Loop             Urn3:                 MBIT H 140             Urn3Check:                 MBIT H 16 A_CheckSight ("Urn3Fade")                 Loop             Urn4:                 MBIT I 140             Urn4Check:                 MBIT I 16 A_CheckSight ("Urn4Fade")                 Loop             Urn5:                 MBIT J 140             Urn5Check:                 MBIT J 16 A_CheckSight ("Urn5Fade")                 Loop             Urn1Fade:                 MBIT F 2 A_FadeOut (0.1)                 Loop             Urn2Fade:                 MBIT G 2 A_FadeOut (0.1)                 Loop             Urn3Fade:                 MBIT H 2 A_FadeOut (0.1)                 Loop             Urn4Fade:                 MBIT I 2 A_FadeOut (0.1)                 Loop             Urn5Fade:                 MBIT J 2 A_FadeOut (0.1)                 Loop

Can just be shortened to this:
Code:
            Urn1:                 MBIT F 140             Urn1Check:                 MBIT F 16 A_CheckSight ("UrnFade")                 Loop             Urn2:                 MBIT G 140             Urn2Check:                 MBIT G 16 A_CheckSight ("UrnFade")                 Loop             Urn3:                 MBIT H 140             Urn3Check:                 MBIT H 16 A_CheckSight ("UrnFade")                 Loop             Urn4:                 MBIT I 140             Urn4Check:                 MBIT I 16 A_CheckSight ("UrnFade")                 Loop             Urn5:                 MBIT J 140             Urn5Check:                 MBIT J 16 A_CheckSight ("UrnFade")                 Loop             UrnFade:                 MBIT # 2 A_FadeOut (0.1)                 Loop

And UrnFade will now use whatever sprite later it was on previously.

Neat I did not know that was possible. That is much more elegant solution.

I have updated the code with your suggestion.

I also fixed some typos, added a brown colour option and made the pushable flag toggleable in the editor.

Here is the updated description and file.

Information:
Name: Marble Urns
Connection: None
Palette: Doom
Summon: MarbleUrn, Urn
Ambient Sound: No
De-/Activatable: No
Destroyable: Yes
Special Effects: No
Brightmaps: No
Actor modification: No
ACS: No

Credits:
Code: Captain Toenail
Sounds: Freesound.org (Kinoton)
Sprites: Captain Toenail, Hexen
Sprite Edit: Captain Toenail
Idea Base: Hexen smashable vases

Description:
A marble urn in a large variety of colours. 
Smashing them open may reveal bonus items hidden inside.
Can be toggled to be pushable in the map editor.
