Celestial Butterflies Blue Urn

Butterflies scatter upward across a deep blue ground on this brass urn, thinning out as they reach the lid so the eye travels with them. At 12 inches it is the tallest urn in this group, on a 6.5 inch square footprint.

Capacity is 228 cubic inches, so it takes the ashes of an adult who weighed up to about 228 pounds, with margin above the usual 200 cubic inch adult size. It loads from the top. The height means it wants a mantel or a tall shelf rather than a standard columbarium niche, so measure the niche opening before you order if that is where it is going.

• 12 inches tall; too tall for many standard niches, check first
• 228 cu in suits an adult up to about 228 lb
• Engraving available on this page as a paid option
