Strikingly Handsome Black and Gold Ceramic Duck Bookend

$95.00

Who would think a duck could stop you in your tracks? Trust me, this one does. He’s handsome.

The striking black and gold finish on this ceramic duck bookend is both sculptural, with a strong, confident form and a rich deep glaze, and refined with just the right amount of gold highlights to define his look.

Solid and weighty, he works perfectly as a functional bookend but is equally as beautiful as a decorative object in his own right.

Handmade and signed to the base (Helena Austin, 1996) he is a distinctive and one-of-a-kind find for collectors of sculptural ceramics and, of course, lovers of ducks.
