Italian 1930 Art Deco Ceramic Female Diving Figure in Red Bathing Suit Bookends

Description
A striking pair of vintage Art Deco ceramic bookends depicting elegant female divers, each poised in a dynamic stance. These sculptural bookends feature women in red bathing suits and pink swimming caps, hand-painted with fine detail that captures the glamour of the 1920s and 1930s design aesthetic. The figures are mounted on black enameled plinths, providing a solid and stylish base, while leaning against a ceramic book form with white covers, yellow-edged “pages,” and gold-painted accents for an authentic period touch. Both decorative and functional, this pair embodies the elegance and playful motifs of the Art Deco era, making them ideal for collectors of early 20th-century design, vintage ceramics, or unique decorative accessories. Perfect for use on a bookshelf, desk, or console table.
