Bookends hands in ceramic, Netherlands 1970

Elegant pair of white glazed ceramic bookends representing two stylised hands facing each other. Handcrafted in the Netherlands in the 1970s, these decorative objects perfectly embody the playful and sculptural aesthetic of vintage design from that period. Their realistic and minimalist shape adds a graphic and poetic touch to a bookshelf, shelf, or desk. As decorative as they are functional, they effectively hold books while serving as true sculptures in their own right. The glossy finish highlights the details of the fingers and the soft curves of the ceramic, creating a beautiful balance between modernism and the pop spirit of the seventies.
