About the Item

Object: Dachshund Bottle Opener Designer: Walter Bosse (1904–1979) Period: 1950s–1960s Material: Solid brass Length: 11.5 cm (4.53 in) Width: 1.9 cm (0.75 in) Height: 2.2 cm (0.87 in) Condition: Beautiful vintage condition with age-related wear, signs of use, and an attractive natural patina. Provenance: From the collection/personal circle of Walter Bosse. Selected items – We change the way you think about forever. Some objects open far more than a bottle. They open a conversation about design, craftsmanship, and the era from which they emerged. This solid brass dachshund bottle opener was designed by the Austrian designer Walter Bosse during the 1950s. With remarkable economy of form, Bosse captured the unmistakable character of the dachshund while seamlessly transforming it into a fully functional everyday object. The bottle opener itself is almost invisibly integrated into the design—a clever solution that perfectly reflects the playful approach to everyday life and functional design that defined postwar modernism. Crafted in Austria from solid brass, the piece offers a satisfying weight, a warm tactile quality, and the exceptional craftsmanship for which Walter Bosse's work is renowned. Originally conceived as a witty household accessory, it has since become one of the most sought-after icons of Austrian Mid-Century design, admired by collectors around the world. Whether used as a functional bottle opener, displayed as a sculptural desk accessory, or given as a thoughtful gift, the dachshund possesses the effortless timelessness found only in the finest design classics. It attracts attention without demanding it, adding character, charm, and history to any setting. An authentic design from the golden age of Austrian modern design—rare, highly collectible, and every bit as relevant today as it was more than half a century ago. The final photograph includes a lip balm for scale. (Inventory Number WB06)
