Fun Vintage Black Ceramic Siamese Cat Bookends

Collectibles : Cats

 

Here's a set of ceramic Kitty Kat bookends made in Japan. They have a high gloss black glaze all over, then have been painted in a matte gold along the page edges of the books standing upright and underneath the kit cat paddiwacks...the gold is also used for accents for their little whiskers, nose lines and bottom lips, as well as around the front tips of their ears, and for their bows around their sweet little necks!

Looks like there was also some matte aqua paint used to suggest eyelashes, but it has mostly worn off by now; their eyes were also a matte white with matte black centers; it too, is chippy shabby chic. They have that siamese look (we are siamese if you please!) with their flirty upward slanted eyes!

Each bookend has a pen or pencil holder in the place of the tails, they'd be cute with those ostrich feather plume pens fluffing out of them!

These little charmers are just over 6" high, 3" across and 2" deep each. They'd be a fun way to cat up your office desk or super cute on the top shelf of your bookcase with some cool vintage books between them! Excellent collectibles awaiting their new cat-lovers home!
