Early Clarice Cliff Pottery. 

A Pair Of Teddy Bear Bookends.

 Glazed flat based earthenware pottery in these desirable Clarice Cliff novelty shapes.

Two textured teddies, hand painted in a vibrant green with brown pads & hand finished black features.

Each wearing a generous orange ribbon in a bow.

Sitting on two square plinths, each monogrammed with the initials T & F

in black & possibly personalised with the owners initial(s)

Both from the Bizarre range of pottery, manufactured together at the famous Newport Pottery in England.

Filled with sand at the bases so these pieces are heavy, in order to secure books when using them for their purpose.

Matching black back stamps ( without 'Bizarre' in script )

Dating to the 1930's
