Another rare Italian polychrome bookend with tooled decoration. About 4 inches high. There are only three IP bookends listed in the 1919 catalogue. This is the third design, model number 325, the ones above are number 319, and the ones below are model 324.

Super rare Italian polychrome bookends with intricate tooled decoration. About 6.5 inches by 4 inches. You can't help but notice that the big K's in the design hint at Karl Kipp's initials.

Rare signed Walter Jennings bookends with tooled designs. About 7" by 3.75". Like most Jennings pieces, the workmanship on these is incredible, and as far as I know there is no Roycroft equivalent. Each bookend is decorated with a strong Arts and Crafts design consisting of seven stylized 4-petal flowers surrounded by a tooled line border. The brown finish is original. One bookend is signed with a mark used by Jennings on work done at home, and it's also dated 1921.

Another pair of rare signed Walter Jennings bookends with tooled designs. About 6" by 3.5". Each bookend is decorated with a repeating design of conventionalized square flowers and panels. Signed with WJ's circle and three slashes mark used on work done at home. Probably cleaned at some point.

Rare bookends with tooled designs, maybe by Walter Jennings, or maybe another Roycrofter, but unsigned. About 5" by 4". Compare the design of the decoration on these to the various cylinder vases on the Vases I page -- any guesses on who made these? Nice original medium brown finish.

Ultra rare and amazing Karl Kipp bookends with tooled designs and cutouts. About 4 inches high (they're pretty small) with awesome design and workmanship. To me the design of these bookends is more British Art Nouveau/Arts and Crafts than the typical Kipp-Roycroft work. One can only image that Kipp (or Jennings) was leafing through a European design periodical, spied something by Mackintosh or another Glasgow designer, and cranked out this pair of bookends. Regardless of the inspiration, they are an awesome example of American Arts and Crafts design and craftsmanship, and I think they are simply spectacular. Both signed with the Hand Wrought Karl Kipp mark.
