The ampersand can be traced back to the first century AD (and was once taught as the twenty-seventh letter of the alphabet!). Today it is admired for its simplicity and symbolism. Our charming 5"-tall Ampersand Vase features the beloved character as a graceful ceramic vessel, bringing a touch of bookish flair to any home or office. Set it on a desk or bookshelf, fill with flowers (or pens and pencils), and proudly proclaim your love of words and design!
