Walter Bosse Owl Corkscrew

£220.00
Shipping calculated at checkout.

A concealed freestanding corkscrew in the form of an owl, designed by Walter Bosse in the early 1950s.

This large 'black-golden' line design was produced to the highest quality by Herta Baller, Vienna, and brilliantly demonstrates Walter Bosse's renowned ability to characterise animals with abstract shapes.

The owl is solid brass, and has gone through a process of patination and polishing. The high-contrast between the areas of black and the golden shine, paired with Bosse's distinctive & Modernist style, ensures this owl makes an eye-catching and wonderfully decorative object for the home. The owl is more than just a figurine, however, as he hides a handy secret; his head, with its expressive face, lifts off to reveal a corkscrew.
