STEEL MILL AND CO. Ceramic Book-Shaped Vase — The House at Pooh Corner cover, 5.31x7.75 in, narrow-mouth literary decor

Steel Mill & Co.'s Ceramic Book-Shaped Vase, inspired by The House at Pooh Corner, is a sculpted ceramic decor piece that looks like a hardcover book and holds flowers or small items.

This ceramic vase combines literary styling with practical function: molded page-edge detailing, a narrow top opening for stems or utensils, and wrapped cover artwork influenced by A.A. Milne's classic. At roughly 5.31 x 7.75 inches and weighing just under 2 pounds, it reads as a decorative object on shelves, desks, consoles, or mantel displays. The finish, printed cover and a quote on the back make it an eye-catching gift for book lovers and collectors of themed home accents.

How does this vase mimic a real book while remaining functional?

The piece is crafted from molded ceramic with ribbed detailing along one side that replicates stacked pages. A slender opening at the top keeps stems upright and accommodates pens, kitchen utensils, or dried botanicals without looking like a typical vase.

• Molded ceramic body with page-like ribbing for authentic book texture
• Wrap-around cover artwork influenced by The House at Pooh Corner
• Narrow mouth for neat stem arrangement or small-item storage
• Quote printed on the back for literary flair
