Lovers of ceramics, books, and decorative art history unite through these vintage Roseville Gardenia Book Ends! Each ceramic book is open on a right-angle, pages sloping towards the central binding held open by a lone, white Gardenia and its leaves. Though this color variety is called gray, it is a subtle lilac purple with blue tones towards the page edges. This contrasts the warm creamy pages and compliments the green leaves. Display the pair together as an art piece, or individually to hold up specific sections of books!
