Jane Austen Watercolor Roses Quote Bone China Mug
Start your day or take an afternoon break with coffee or tea in this gorgeous bone china mug adorned with watercolor roses and a quote from Jane Austen. The quote comes from Marianne in Sense & Sensibility: "What have wealth or grandeur to do with happiness?" (Volume I, Chapter 17) Of course, Marianne's idea of scraping by with the bare minimum requires 2,000 pounds a year and allows for servants and a couple of carriages, which Elinor points out most would still consider wealth. It's a great passage and -- even if Marianne has gotten things wrong -- a lovely quote. Watercolor roses taken from an original painting by award-winning artist, Carolyn Marshall Wright, member of Potomac Valley Watercolorists, signature member of Virginia Watercolor Society.
