What fascinating pieces!
Known today as manufacturers of optical, medical, and electronic products, Hoya-at one time (1945-2009)-also created crystal and art glass. These stunning, gargoyle/ art deco-styled, hefty bookends masterfully capture the dominant essence of the eagle, respectfully perched upon a thick, ribbed glass platform. Very, very hard to find quality glass wonders.
