Janle for Max Le Verrier - Art Deco spelter figure bookends, circa 1930, France titled "Insouciance" - the spelter figures cold-painted green and gazing upwards. Janle is the pseudonym of the sculptor Jean Lemoine who deigned many pieces for the Le Verrier foundry, as well as producing works in ceramic.
These is the original versions of these bookends, with the Le Verrier re-editions having marble bases.

Max Le Verrier 1891 - 1973. After serving in WW1, Le Verrier studied at the École des Beaux-Art in Geneva alongside Marcel Bouraine and Pierre Le Faguays who remained friends for life, often working together. In the early 1920s he inherited a small foundry in which he was soon producing small sculptures and decorative objects such as lamps, ashtrays, bookends and hood ornaments in the Art Deco style. In addition to his own sculptures, he cast for the artists Pierre Le Faguays, Marcel Bouraine, André Vincent Becquere and Jules Edmont Masson among others. He mostly worked with bronze, ivory, zinc, terracotta and ceramics. Le Verrier showed his work in the salons of the Société des artistes décorateurs of which he was an elected member and at the Exposition Internationale des Arts Décoratifs et industriels modern in 1925 he won a gold medal. He also exhibited at the Paris World Exhibition in 1937.
