Gleaming Purple Urn

The purple on this one is high gloss, closer to a lacquered finish than the matte enamels elsewhere in the range, so the surface reflects the room around it. Brass shows at the rim and the base. Dimensions are 6.5 inches across and 10.5 inches tall.

With 228 cubic inches inside, it takes the ashes of an adult who weighed up to about 228 pounds. The top opening means you fill it standing upright, which is easier when the urn is already in place. A glossy finish shows fingerprints, so handle it by the base and give it a wipe with a dry microfibre cloth once it is set where it will stay.

• Wipe with a dry microfibre cloth; skip household cleaning sprays
