The date to around the 1930s and take the form of a pair of white doves. They have a little hole on the side of the upstand section - this is where you might fill with sand or similar material to add weight to the models. As bookends - they would have to have a bit of weight to them. They are currently empty of sand and the apperture is open. You would put a little white coloured patch over this hole or stop up with a small piece of cork.  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThey have no obvious maker's marks but I am assuming that they are French in origin and dating to the 1930s. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThey are in good condition - they have a crackle glaze (original in the making) and their features are depicted with over glaze paintwork. They are in good condition - but one has a litte very fine hairline cracks issuing from the hole on the reverse, as photographed. This has been taken into account with my pricing. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe are 6 inches in height, with a width of 4 1\/4 inches and and widthe of 4 1\/4 inches. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThey are rare survivors and I cant find another pair like them - they would look great in a modernist or Art Deco interior - or for someone interested in fan tail doves. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe pair will be sent to you with Royal Mail Tracked (Small Parcel) service. This will be applied to your order at the checkout. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Iconic Edinburgh","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56273804067195,"sku":null,"price":95.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0271\/1902\/6240\/files\/30052026_0103.jpg?v=1780167922","url":"https:\/\/www.iconicedinburgh.co.uk\/products\/1930s-art-deco-continental-ceramics-doves-bookends","provider":"Iconic Edinburgh","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
