Walter Bosse Dachshund Bottle Opener

This iconic brass dachshund bottle opener was made according to a design by Walter Bosse and is one of the characteristic design objects 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 pleasingly heavy feel and a warm patina developed over decades. The minimalist silhouette and fine details give the object a clear design presence – typical of Austrian post-war design of that period.

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