ABOUT PRODUCTID 4575
This pair of porcelain bookends, crafted by the German manufactory Neu Tettau in the 1930s, exemplifies the pure aesthetics of Art Deco. Featuring a warm, ivory white tone and a high-gloss glazed finish, the bookends display subtle sculptural details. Each piece depicts a stylized dog in a dynamic, upright pose, front paws resting against a geometric support. The rectangular bases with softly rounded edges underscore the modern sensibility typical of the era. There are no pronounced gilded accents, drawing attention to the purity of form and material, while the maker’s mark and impressed stamp attest to their authenticity and artisanal origin. Openings in the base allow for sand filling to ensure stability, yet the overall impression remains one of porcelain lightness. Condition: excellent, with no visible damage, cracks, or discoloration. These bookends echo the spirited narrative of the 1930s—a period devoted to clarity of line, simplified forms, and rhythmic repetition. The porcelain dogs, reduced to flowing contours, recall the devoted companion of everyday life—captured with a touch of wit and respect for craftsmanship. The smooth glazed surface softly reflects light, as if telling the stories of bygone libraries and home offices where function harmonized with decorative intent. The bookends may be paired with classic volumes bound in cloth or leather, offering a refined accent on a sideboard, bookshelf, or vintage-style desk. They work well in both collector Art Deco interiors and contemporary spaces, introducing a subtle animal motif. Consider combining them with light wood, polished brass, or opaline glass
