This is a rare pair of art-deco bookends (serre-livres) made of molded white craquelé ceramic depicting figures from the classical character Pierrot, the melancholic clown Pierrot with a large ruff and a mandolin in hand, resting against the raised support Material: White glazed earthenware or porcelain with a distinctive craquelé effect (fine hairline cracks in the glaze). Style: Art-deco Bottom: provided with a manufacturer stamp Émaux de Louvière Emaux de La Louvière (by the Boch Frères Keramis factory in Belgium) is one of the leading manufacturers for this kind of objects! During the Art Deco period (around 1920-1930) this faience produced many animal or figurative sculptures and binders with the help of this technique of white earthenware or craquelé enamel cream. In their catalog from that period we find several variants of characters from the Commedia dell'arte, including these dreamy Pierrots or musicians, who share exactly the same stylized silhouette, the same thick rectangular base and the distinctive cracked glossy finish.
