This is an iconic pair of Rookwood Pottery Bookends. The classic Rookwood crow (also known as a rook or raven) bookends were designed by William Purcell McDonald, with the earliest pairs introduced around 1920. The most popular models are cataloged as Shape 2275 and Shape 2278. This model is a more uncommon 2274 and is dated "XXVI". The bookend are in remarkably very good condition considering that this year marks their 100 anniversary. Both bookends are signed, as shown in the photos. The desirable green matte glaze brings out the detailed casting of the bookends allowing them to act as fine sculptures in the setting in which they are placed.
*Rookwood Pottery is an American ceramics company that was founded in 1880 and closed in 1967, before being revived in 2004. It was initially located in the Over-the-Rhine neighborhood in Cincinnati, Ohio, and has now returned there.
