Walden, the classic novel by Henry David Thoreau that details a simple life appreciating nature.  This handmade ceramic container is shaped like a small book. Use it to hold pens and pencils on a desktop or bedside table, or as a fillable container. It is water tight and can be used as a vase. Great little gift for a bibliophile who appreciates the classics in literature.  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.
