This signed pair of Steuben crystal gazelle bookends showcases the brand’s signature clarity and craftsmanship. Each hand-blown glass figure depicts a stylized gazelle leaping over curling waves—a dynamic composition that evokes the sleek elegance of the Art Deco period. Sculptural and luminous, these pieces reflect Steuben’s commitment to refined form and technical mastery.
Designed by Sidney Waugh who headed the glass works for mid-20th century during Steuben’s celebrated postwar era, these bookends are not only functional but also collectible works of American decorative art. The signature, etched on the base of each piece, confirms their authenticity and aligns with known Steuben production methods. See picture #8.
These signed Steuben crystal gazelle bookends are ideal for collectors of mid-century modern, Art Deco revival, or fine American crystal. Their generous scale and visual presence make them perfect on a bookshelf, console, or desktop.
