Description
This stoneware book vase is shaped like a slim hardback, with a cream finish and fine gold lines framing its cover like a well loved edition. It stands 14.2cm tall, 9.7cm wide and 4cm deep. On the front, a little illustration of two friends reaching up towards a golden crescent moon sits among scattered stars and hearts, beside the words 'Friends are like good books. You always want more time with them.' The spine is a soft pink panel carrying a second line, 'Let your days be filled with words and stories that inspire you', and a small gold heart sits in each corner of the cover.
Because it is only 4cm deep, it slips onto a bookshelf between real books, where its spine reads like one more title on the row. It also stands on a mantel, windowsill, desk or bedside table with the cover facing out. The opening along the top suits a few slender stems or a small posy, and it looks just as at home left empty as a little decorative piece. The words make it a thoughtful gift for a friend, especially one who loves reading, and it says something kind without needing a card to do it.
It is made from stoneware, and its flat base lets it stand upright on its own without any support. To keep it looking its best, dust it with a soft dry cloth and wipe it gently with a damp cloth when needed, taking care over the gold lines and printed words. For gifting, we like it paired with a favourite paperback or a few small flowers, so your friend has something to read and something lovely to put in it.
