The Writer's Companion

This ceramic vase adds literary charm to any room. Use it as a bud vase or fill it with pencils, pens, and other tools of the writer's trade. Illustrated by avowed bibliophile Jane Mount and adorned with elegant touches of gold, it's the perfect gift for book lovers. The vase measures 3 5/8 x 4 3/4 x 2 inches and features this inspiring quote by John Keats on the back: "A thing of beauty is a joy for ever."

"I adore these little bookish-vases, although they can realistically be used as receptacles for any number of items. The smaller one makes fantastic pen pots. All too often I've seen poor versions of the book as a pot, but these ones are well manufactured and really attractive. And the colours and foiling really set them apart. The other two vases in the series, Collected Curiosities and Compendium of Flowers, are equally as gorgeous."
