These Egyptian Revival Bookends Will Fix Me, My Books

two incredible wedge shaped earthenware bookends with an egyptian scribe sitting criss cross applesauce inside a little niche, each covered with a deep blue glaze that, because of the simplified design of the scribes, or the smoothness of their features, seems really thick and luscious and i want these mf now please even tho i only came across them five minutes ago and the idea of impulse shopping for antique bookends as the world tears itself apart feels a little uncomfortable ngl
WYD, Marblehead Pottery glaze deep as the midnight sky? Earthenware bookends, 5 1/2 x 5 1/2 x 2 3/4 in., selling tomorrow at Toomey & Co.

Until five minutes ago I had too many bookends in my life, and suddenly I don’t have enough. I need a pair of 100-yo Marblehead Pottery Egyptian Revival bookends with seated scribes covered in a thick, deep blue glaze. My budget is $200.
