Loving White Heart Keepsake

White over brass makes this the palest heart in the range, three and a half inches tall with a smooth unbroken front. The opening is on the bottom rather than the back, so you turn it over to fill it and set it down again with nothing visible from any side.

Five cubic inches takes a portion of the ashes. White reads as neutral in almost any room, which is why it gets chosen for shared spaces, and for an infant or a child as often as for an adult. It stands without a base and is broad enough at the foot not to tip.

• Bottom threaded opening; fill it inverted over a bowl to catch anything that spills
• The white finish shows marks, so handle it by the sides and keep oils off the face
• At three and a half inches it suits a niche shelf as readily as a mantel
