Celestial Horses Raku Keepsake

Horses run around the body of this raku keepsake, set against the dark, smoke-marked ground the firing leaves. The form is a 5-inch round, the same body used for the dolphin and wolf pieces, which means the motif is the only thing separating them and the size decision is already made for you.

Sixty cubic inches holds a portion of an adult's ashes when several people are each keeping some, or a complete set for a pet up to about 60 pounds at a cubic inch per pound. Owners often buy one for a person and match it later with a second for the horse or the dog. Display it indoors; the glaze is not built for weather.

• Round 5 in body, identical in size to the other raku keepsakes
• 60 cu in: a divided share for an adult, or all of a smaller pet
• Hand-fired ceramic, so treat it as breakable and keep it back from an edge
