Description:
A ceramic pencil cup shaped like three Jane Austen novels standing together, open at the top and glazed white inside. Sense and Sensibility is the green one, its cover printed with teacups, fans, and butterflies around a line from the book. Pride and Prejudice is mustard yellow, with a country house above a peacock. Persuasion is blue, with a sailing ship in a wreath of scrollwork. Each spine carries its title and Austen's name, and the covers are sculpted so the pages show at the edges.
The line on the green cover is "I wish, as well as everybody else, to be perfectly happy; but, like everybody else, it must be in my own way." It is said by Edward Ferrars, the quiet young man Elinor Dashwood loves, when her mother asks what he wants from life. Everyone around him has plans for him. He answers that greatness will not make him happy, and that he would rather be happy his own way. It is a good line to keep beside a desk.
Why you'll love it:
Three titles in three colors, each cover with its own design: teacups and fans, a house and a peacock, a ship at sea
