Bear bookends

About your piece

What you'll love about it:

-adding whimsy to any room
-lovingly handmade
-fully unique!

This bookend set is one of my favourite things I’ve ever made. Inspired by a challenge given on the Great Pottery Throwdown 2026, I decided to depict a family of bears during the day, and during the night. On the day side, one parent bear is playing with baby bear by throwing an acorn, and the other parent bear is roasting marshmallows over a little wood fire. On the night side, they are all sleeping together, with baby bear slumped over one of her parent bears.

Bears are one of my toddler’s favourite animals - so it’s in her honour that I represented this little family. I mostly relate to the marshmallow roasting and mattress-bear.

It is entirely unique - there is only one of its kind.

Care instructions

Shipping information

Collection in Brighton and Hove possible - please message me with your order number so we can arrange it!

Everything is sent with DPD as they seem to be rated the best by employees - and I don’t believe in exploiting people! Your parcel will be sent within 3-5 working days, and once it is in their hands, it should take 1-2 days to arrive to you. It will be sent in reused packaging for extra sustainability, and I’d love it if you could reuse that packaging again! If not, please do recycle it depending on your local authorities.

If you wish to send it to someone as a gift, I can add a gift note to it - you will be able to add it when adding this piece to your cart. If you want me to take extra care in making the parcel as good as possible while being reused, let me know there too.

Ethical and sustainable

I am radically left wing and always have been. I think the way we are trashing the planet while treating people in the Global South as if they weren’t worth common dignity is unacceptable, and when I can, I donate money to charities against the far right.
