Moon and Stars Blue Brass Keepsake

A crescent moon and a scatter of stars sit against deep blue enamel on the front of this brass keepsake. The design is applied rather than engraved, so the surface stays smooth under your hand. Height is 3.25 inches, and the lid threads on at the top.

It holds 4 cubic inches, a token portion of ashes and not a full set from an adult. Parents often choose this one for a child, and adult children choose it for a father who worked or sailed at night. Fill it through the top opening and turn the lid closed by hand until it seats.

• Blue enamel with a moon-and-stars design on the front face
• The design faces one way, so set it with the motif into the room
• Deep blue enamel reads almost black in a dim room and shows its colour near a lamp
