Rare Art Deco Ceramic Bookends Pair – Handcrafted Horsehead Busts with “Hungary” Mark (c. 1940, Budapest, Izsépy Margit Studio)

Offered is a pair of handcrafted and hand-painted terracotta horsehead busts serving as bookends, each marked with the simple “Hungary” stamp on the base—no other markings are present. Each piece measures approximately 18 cm in height, 14×10 cm in width and depth, with a base size of 11×9 cm.

One bust has undergone a repair to the ear and exhibits a minor glaze flaw, documented in a close-up photo. The other remains in original condition. The hand-painted glaze beautifully interacts with light, and the repairs add character and history to the pair.

Detailed photographs illustrate the condition of the pieces, including the repaired glaze flaw and ear. The items will be carefully packaged and shipped via registered mail.

A truly decorative Art Deco rarity—ideal as bookends, decorative accents, or a collector's item!

From a private collection in Budapest.

Please note: The photographs are an integral part of the description.
