This pair of decorative bookends from the 1960s takes the form of stylized cats, crafted from glazed ceramic with hollow interiors. Each bookend features a rounded, simplified silhouette emblematic of the mid-century modern aesthetic, with a deep, glossy black surface accented by crisp white details on the paws, muzzle, and tip of the tail, as well as striking yellow eyes with black pupils. The bookends are equipped with stoppers, allowing them to be filled with sand for additional weight and stability. The craftsmanship is evident in the precise glazing, seamless construction, and smooth lines. Both objects are preserved in very good condition, showing no visible chips or signs of wear, with the tip of one tail professionally restored. These ceramic cats evoke the spirit of a decade when function was infused with playfulness and lightness of form. Their simplified, cartoon-like profiles reflect the joyful design ethos of the 1960s, an era that valued objects not only for their practicality but also for their ability to spark delight. The contrast between the glossy black, crisp white, and vivid yellow details creates a sense of visual rhythm and optimism, as if each cat stands guard over a row of books with a mischievous wink. The bookends may serve as a distinctive accent on a bookshelf or sideboard, especially when paired with other geometric forms from the mid-century period. They complement warm-toned wood, minimalist lamps with brass details, or colorful graphic prints. In a modern interior, the bold forms can create dialogue
