Blue Infant Teddy Cube Urn

This urn is a true cube, three and a half inches on every side, in blue metal with a teddy bear on the face. The shape is unusual for an infant piece, since most are rounded or heart-shaped, and it means the urn sits like a small box rather than an ornament.

Twenty cubic inches is the capacity, which on the one-inch-per-pound rule suits a newborn or an infant up to about 20 lb. Parents often keep this one in a nursery or on a bedside table rather than on a mantel, where its size does not announce itself as a display piece. The supplier does not state how it opens, so ask before ordering if you plan to fill it yourself.

• 3.5 inch cube; 20 cu in, for an infant up to about 20 lb
• Teddy bear motif set on the front face of the cube
• Painted metal: wipe it dry and keep cleaning sprays off the teddy detail
