Hearts Ring Brass Urn

Linked hearts run in a continuous ring around the middle of this brass urn, each one joined to the next so the band reads as a chain rather than a row of separate shapes. Above and below it the brass is plain and polished. The motif is small in scale, so it does not dominate the urn from across a room.

Two hundred and twenty-eight cubic inches gives headroom over the usual adult size, covering someone of up to about 228 pounds. It fills from the top. Couples sometimes buy two matching pieces instead of a single companion urn, and this shape works for that, because the hearts read as a pair when the urns sit side by side.

• 228 cu in, comfortably above the 200 cu in adult standard
• Sold as a single urn; order two if you want a matching pair
• Polished brass shows fingerprints, and a dry cloth clears them without polish
