Ceramic Elephant bookends - 70/80s

This distinctive pair of bookends instantly adds atmosphere and a touch of nostalgia to any bookshelf. Crafted from glossy white glazed ceramic, these two industrious elephants feature a fluid, almost sculptural style that nods to Art Deco: a truly beautiful, dynamic duo.

A unique feature lies on the underside: the original filling opening, marked with the instruction "Hier vullen met zand" (Fill with sand here). This clever design from the 1970s and 80s allowed owners to add weight to the hollow figures themselves. As a result, they easily support a row of heavy books, though they look just as impressive as standalone decorative pieces on a sideboard or vintage wall unit.
