Forget Me Not Blue Ceramic Urn

Buyers who want the forget-me-not pattern in a cooler colour take this one: the same 9.75 by 9 inch ceramic body as the red and green versions, glazed blue with the flowers picked out around the shoulder. It fills from the top.

Blue sits quietly next to framed photographs instead of competing with them, which is worth thinking about if the urn is going on a crowded mantel rather than standing alone. Ceramic at this size has genuine heft. That is an advantage on a shelf and a nuisance if the urn ever has to travel, so it is worth keeping the carton it arrives in.

• Same body and proportions as the red and green Forget Me Not urns
• Keep the shipping carton; it is the safest way to move a ceramic urn later
• Nearly 10 inches across, so it needs shelf depth as well as height
