SHE HAD TO WALK INTO MINE..." , H. Bogart ~              thanks for walkin' in... ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~       ~ITEM DETAILS:     This would make quite a lasting tribute to your loved one... be they human or animal!  The French style lidded vase is a simply stunning piece finely detailed with scrolled amphora type handles!  The colors alone are absolutely gorgeous, with the antiqued tonal cream finish, as are the charmingly-designed leaf handles, classic pedestal foot & finial topped lid!  This piece need not be tucked away in a dark corner of the bedroom or closet as traditional urns tend to be ... but can be set out proudly in full view... boldly elegant!  Great full-size urn measuring aprox 13.5 H x 11.5 W! (inside compartment being about 7"x6") Also, metal construction give nice weight to it... not a fragile piece!  Of course, it could also be used simply as a fabulously decorative display piece for any collector!!   "Ask of the beasts and they will teach you the beauty of this earth."                          St. Francis of Assisi ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ Gen'l guide:  about 1cu inch needed per pound of body weight or 8oz (227g) per 20lbs (9kg).  Smaller urns can also be used as a keepsake for partial amts of ashes & larger for multiple cremains or personal items as well...(never put ashes directly in any urn) I HAVE NOTICED THE NEED FOR MORE PERSONAL &  'NON -COMMERCIAL- LOOKING'  MEMORIAL/CREMATION URNS FOR KEEPING THE REMAINS OF OUR LOVING PETS AND THEIR PERSONAL ITEMS(toys/collars etc) ... AS WELL AS THOSE OF OUR HUMAN LOVED ONES .   I SIMPLY FEEL THAT HAVING A OOAK (or one of just a few!) URN IS MORE APPROPRIATE FOR OUR ONE-OF-A-KIND's!   FOR ME... MY CHERISHED COMPANION DIDNT ROLL OFF A PRODUCTION LINE AND THEIR INDIVIDUAL IMPORTANCE & UNIQUENESS SEEMED ALL BUT LOST BY RESTING THEM IN AN OVER-THE-COUNTER STYLE CREMATION URN.  I INSTEAD BOUGHT SOMETHING WHICH WASN'T SOLD FOR THAT PURPOSE... SO IS THE MAIN POINT IF THIS ENDEAVOR.  SOME PEOPLE PREFER A MORE TRADITIONAL APPROACH  ( this has never been me!  :) ... WHILE MANY ARE CAUGHT OFF-GUARD BY AN UNFORTUNATE SURPRISE & LEFT WITHOUT TIME (or the state-of-mind) TO GIVE THIS THE ATTENTION THEY WOULD HAVE OTHERWISE.                                             ~planning these things is an unpleasant thought at best but you will be very thankful that you did...     I HAVE BEEN SEARCHING MANY AVENUES FOR ITEMS BOTH NEW & USED OF MANY DIFFERENT MATERIALS SUCH AS FINE WOODS/ VARIOUS METALS/ CHINA, CERAMIC (esp antiques) THAT MAY NOT HAVE BEEN INITIALLY INTENDED FOR THIS PURPOSE BUT ARE A UNIQUE/ FUNCTIONAL AND DON'T SCREAM "CREMATION URN"!!  (ex- using great antique wooden  boxes and adding a beautiful porcelain figurine etc.) ... WHY NOT??   THERE ARE ALSO SEVERAL DIFFERENT SIZE TO CONSIDER... LARGER FOR HOLDING ALL OF THEIR REMAINS AND PERSONAL THINGS AND SMALL WHICH CAN BE USED AS A KEEPSAKE URN FOR A LOCK OF HAIR OR KEEP A SMALL AMOUNT OF ASHES CLOSE BY AND BURYING THE MAJORITY.  IN EITHER CASE... HEARTFELT THOUGHT (& sometimes the labor of love) HAS BEEN PUT INTO THEM. Many more being listed but they will roll out slowly.  If you have a certain breed of animal or style/material in mind... just ask.  I may have it or can work with you to put together your vision.   I HOPE MY EFFORTS WILL BRING YEARS OF FOND & PEACEFUL MEMORIES...   Thanks for shopping!!  If you like this kind of stuff you'll probably like my others as well... check 'em out! LIKE THE ITEM... BUT THE PRICE, NOT SO MUCH?... REASONABLE OFFERS ALWAYS WELCOME!... JUST ASK Gen'l Info:   ...UNFORTUNATELY, NOTHING IN LIFE IS "ONE-SIZE-FITS-ALL"  & WE ARE EACH UNIQUELY DIFFERENT...  ;)  SO ANY OPINIONS EXPRESSED ARE MEERLY THAT... an opinion.  PLEASE CHECK DESCRIPTIONS CAREFULLY / ASK Q's & USE YOUR OWN JUDGEMENT BEFORE BIDDING OR BUYING TO BE SURE YOUR SPECIFIC NEEDS WILL BE MET.  IT IS RECOMMENDED THAT ALL ITEMS ARE CLEANED ACCORDINGLY BEFORE USE... AS SOME ARE PRE-OWNED BY OTHERS. ANY ACCESSORIES SHOWN ARE NOT INCLUDED UNLESS OTHERWISE STATED.  NOTE TO MY SENSITIVES:  ITEMS MAY>>  HAVE MUTILATED TAGS... REQUIRE SOME ASSEMBLY...BE MADE IN CHINA ... AND...   MY PETS ARE OCCASIONAL SMOKERS... BUT ARE KEPT SEPARATED FROM ITEMS FOR SALE (...NO NEED FOR PETA PLEASE... :]  ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~         Sharing my unique finds with others works perfectly as it gives me an excuse to do what I love(shop) which in turn can help to  fuel my passion!   >^..^<  Hopefully they will make you smile as much as they do me!!   Please try to keep in mind... I'm just a 1 person operation & do my best to keep up ... but sometimes "LIFE HAPPENS ...",  (John Lennon) and  flexibility is a necessity.   I also have my Rescue organization- Scaredycat Rescue R & R Inc. a Not-For-Profit(lic NYS).
