MCM Gordon & Jane Martz Marshall Studios Walnut Ceramic Tile Bookends Pair

Beautiful pair of mid-century modern bookends by Gordon & Jane Martz for Marshall Studios (Veedersburg, Indiana).   Found at an estate in Houston, TX.    Solid walnut rectangular forms with a vertical strip of hand-glazed ceramic tiles down the center. The tiles feature abstract brushwork in rich greens, blues, grays, and subtle metallic tones — classic Martz style. Each bookend sits on a metal base plate with the original black felt bottom (felt shows expected age wear and cracking). One base retains the original Marshall Studios production sticker: WBER5-132.    These are authentic 1960s–1970s examples of the highly collectible Martz / Marshall Studios designs that have become favorites among mid-century modern collectors.    Condition:  • Wood is solid with nice grain and finish; light age-appropriate wear  • Ceramic tiles are intact with no chips or cracks  • Black felt bottoms are worn and cracked (very common on these). Can easily be replaced. I would, but I presently don't have the time due to other projects.  • Overall good vintage condition and I have given them Feed-N-Wax!    Approximate dimensions (each):  7.5 high × 5 wide × 4.25 deep    A stylish and functional pair that looks great on a bookshelf, console, or desk. Ready to ship carefully packed.
