These 6 1-2"H x 5"W light amethyst glass Scottish terrier bookends were a 1979 reissue of the original Cambridge Glass design #1288 from the 1920s-1950s, commissioned by the NCC (National Cambridge Collectors) for Imperial Glass
These Scotties are great!! I've seen bronze, brass and cast iron, but these are the first glass Scottie bookends I've ever seen. Nice!
These are lovely little dogs, they look so playful and mischievous- I particularly love the rearing up pose- it adds to their playfulness!
My first brush with these little dogs was when I was a child and was visiting Dublin and in a rather posh part of the city seen a girl a little older than myself and she has a pair of these jet black little dogs on two leads complete with two matching tartan coats on them- and of course I thought it was the most dearest thing I'd ever seen back then! :P

Scott I am so happy to be able to show you unique Scottie glass bookends, and I'm so happy you liked them! Many thanks my friend for the kind words
Thank you Lauren for the wonderful compliments, these terriers are very cute and playful dogs and the ones you saw as a child with the tartan coats sound so adorable, what a super memory to have :)
Right Karen, these bookends tick all the right boxes, esp purple glass (my fave color) and cute dogs! The bookends were a nice bonus, I found a couple more by Blenko of a different animal that will show another time. Thank you for the great comment
Yes Eileen I do remember the Monopoly scottie, it was a fave family board game. You are right they are a fierce protective breed, you hardly ever see one that is not yipping away lol. And it's true, I had to interject an appropriate book for them to be holding up, totally grateful for the wonderful praise & noticing my little props here!
Glad you enjoyed these dog bookends Sean & the love is much appreciated
These are really cute!
Thank you MrsT for the kind compliment and love, really glad you enjoyed my Scottie pair
