Illustrated by avowed bibliophile Jane Mount and adorned with elegant touches of gold, it's the perfect gift for book lovers. The vase measures 5 3/8 x 8 x 2 1/2 inches and features this inspiring quote by Oscar Wilde on the back: "With freedom, books, flowers, and the moon, who could not be happy?"" The Bibliophile Vase: A Compendium of Flowers, illustrated by Jane Mount, is $29.95 at Chronicle Books. (found via Michelle Krell Kydd, @glasspetalsmoke at Twitter)
