We absolutely love the color of these bookends. The dark moody burgundy is really stunning. These were made using a ceramic slip cast mold and are finished with a high gloss glaze. The high gloss finish really rolls the light beautifully across the gentle sculptural curves of the horse heads busts. They can be oriented in two directions, as captured in the listing photos, and are a great size. The bottom of each bookend is signed "Love Aunt Guinevere" and were once a beautifully thoughtful gift. They are in excellent condition with minor signs of wear. Most notably, there are light scratches on the bottom of the bookends from use (as seen in listing photos), but no chips, cracks or breaks. Overall, excellent vintage condition.
