Walter Bosse Dachshund Bottle Opener

This iconic brass dachshund bottle opener, designed by Walter Bosse, is a characteristic design object of the Mid-Century era. Produced by Herta Baller in Austria, the object combines functional design with the humorous, sculptural aesthetic of the 1950s and 1960s.

Crafted from solid brass, the dachshund has a pleasantly heavy feel and a warm patina that has developed over decades. The minimalist silhouette and fine details give the object a clear design presence – typical of Austrian post-war design from this period.

In addition to its function as a bottle opener, this piece is now primarily a decorative collector's item for lovers of Mid-Century design and Walter Bosse.
