Vintage Ceramic Cat Bookends Made In Japan Mid Century Arched Back Stretching 5" For Sale

This is a beautiful matching pair of vintage Mid-Century Modern ceramic cat bookends. Made in Japan during the 1950s/1960s, each figurine features a charming black-and-white stylized cat in a playful arched-back stretching pose, standing atop a glossy burgundy book base. The faces are highly expressive with hand-painted blue eyes and orange accents inside the ears and mouth. Both pieces are in excellent vintage condition with no chips, cracks, or post-market repairs, showing only typical minor factory glazing irregularities characteristic of the era. Authenticity is fully verified by an incised "Made in Japan" stamp on the hip, as well as a stamped ink mark on the unglazed hollow-cast base. They stand approximately 4.75 inches tall, making them the perfect functional accent for any vintage pottery collector or book lover's shelf. Shipping for this item is Free.
