Blue Mother of Pearl Urn

Blue mother of pearl covers the body of this brass urn in small fitted pieces, so the surface shifts between deep blue and pale silver depending on where the light falls. No two sections are identical. The lid is finished to match and lifts clear of the rim.

It holds 220 cubic inches, enough for an adult who weighed up to about 220 pounds, and stands 10.5 inches tall. This one opens at the top, so the ashes are lowered straight in with the urn upright, which some families find easier than inverting a heavy urn. Kept indoors on a mantel or shelf, the inlay stays bright for years.

• Top opening lid; fill it standing upright, no need to turn it over
• Dust with a dry cloth only, and keep the inlay out of direct sunlight
• Only the height is published at 10.5 inches; ask us for the base width before ordering for a niche
