A pair of 1960s bookends crafted from glossy white glazed porcelain, shaped as sitting cats placed on bases styled as brickwork. The porcelain is meticulously modeled, with clearly defined ears, paws, and tails accentuating the figurative aspect of the design. Each cat features hand-painted facial details—eyes with black and gold accents, and a subtly brown nose. The bases provide functional stability for books, with a contrasting brick-like texture complementing the smooth porcelain bodies. Each bookend stands 17.5 cm high. No visible damage or signs of wear; condition is described as excellent. These porcelain cat bookends capture the playful spirit of the 1960s, embodying a dialogue between function and decorative whimsy rooted in the mid-century kitsch aesthetic. Their gentle, cheerful presence is emphasized by slightly stylized proportions and hand-painted faces—suggesting they watch over a home library with a knowing, lighthearted touch. The glazed finish softly reflects light, echoing the era’s delight in turning everyday objects into statements of character and charm. These bookends would complement a shelf in the living room, study, or home office, pairing well with both contemporary books and vintage records. They suit arrangements blending vintage, mid-century modern, or eclectic styles, and can also act as a standout accent in minimalist interiors, offering a single note of witty detail. Combined with white, light wood, or pastel accessories, they subtly enhance the easygoing, unassuming mood of the space.
