Bookends – Heavy Porcelain Pair With a Sculpted Form and Grip Base

Bookends – Hold the Row Upright and Look Like They Belong There

A pair of bookends cast in porcelain in a sculptural shape. The weight does the work, so there is no hook or clamp to slide into the shelf. On an open shelf they read as objects in their own right rather than as hardware.

Why choose sculptural bookends?

Most bookends are folded sheet metal you would rather not see. These are meant to be noticed and they fill the gap at the end of a half-full shelf. Porcelain is heavy, so even larger cookbooks stay where you put them.

• Solid porcelain — Its own weight holds the row upright, with no clamp involved.
• Non-slip base — Does not skid on a lacquered or stone shelf.
• Sculptural shape — A functional piece that also stands on its own.
• Two formats — 11 x 5 x 28 cm and 14 x 6 x 21 cm, for tall or wide books.
• Sold as a pair — Left and right, so a shelf is finished in one go.

A shelf that looks finished the moment something stands at the end of it.

Set them on a flat shelf and press the books lightly against them; the support does not tip along. Porcelain is hard but brittle at the edges, so move them upright rather than lying down. A slightly damp cloth lifts dust out of the hollows.
