Great gift for a salty mouthed book lover. This handmade ceramic container is shaped like a book with a vintage pulp novel cover. Use it to hold pens and pencils on a desktop or bedside table, or as a fillable container, or planter (no drainage hole). It is water tight and can be used as a vase.  Handmade in my New Jersey studio from stoneware clay, kiln fired. This piece measures 5 inches tall, 4 x 2. Cover is decoupaged on and sealed with a non yellowing varnish.
