Black Mother of Pearl Urn

Narrow at 6 inches square, this urn takes up less shelf than most 220 cubic inch pieces do, and it gets the capacity back in height at 10.5 inches. The shell inlay is the dark variety, greys and near-blacks with the iridescence still in it rather than a flat black paint.

Two hundred and twenty cubic inches fits an adult of up to about 220 pounds. It opens at the top. The small square base is the reason people choose this one over the wider brass urns: it fits a shallow niche or a crowded shelf where an 8 inch base will not go, without giving up any capacity.

• 6 inch square base, the smallest footprint in our adult brass range
• 220 cu in, sized to an adult of up to about 220 lb
• Dust with a dry cloth only; shell inlay dislikes cleaners
