Butterfly Cloisonne Keepsake Urn

Striking and colorful, the Butterfly Cloisonne Keepsake Urn can pay tribute to a loved one with its swirling butterfly design on the exterior. This small keepsake size urn is made using cloisonne, an ancient art form invented by the French and perfected by the Chinese. Made from brass, copper and colored enamel, cloisonne is crafted by hand and the finished item is fired in a kiln and gilded. As a result of this meticulous process, every cloisonne piece is a beautiful, durable and unique work of art.

The lid on this keepsake urn is not threaded. In order to seal it permanently, you may use a strong adhesive such as E6000.

Keepsake urns can be used for various reasons. Many people use keepsake urns to share a loved one's ashes among several family members. Others use a keepsake urn to keep a small portion of ashes after the majority of the ashes have been scattered, buried, or placed in a columbarium. Some people choose to scatter or keep a small amount in a different place than where the primary urn is displayed. 

This is a small size cremation urn that holds 7 cubic inches of ashes (approximately 1/2 cup).
