Blackened Brass Bear Candleholder/Figurine by Walter Bosse and Herta Baller
Mid-Century Viennese bear figurine designed by Walter Bosse and Herta Baller as part of “Black Golden Line” (Austria, ca. 1950).
Composed of solid brass patinated in a black finish, which is then polished off in places to reveal only the brass details of edges and nose.
Can be used as a candleholder for a small, round votive, ashtray, or a stand-alone decorative object.
Very small size: H: 1″ x D: 1.5″ x L: 2.63″ (orange ping-pong ball measuring 1.5″ in diameter is used to illustrate both the scale of the bear and size of candle the ‘cradle’ can accommodate).
Very good, vintage with light wear/patina consistent with age/use.
Retains the “Made in Austria” tag to the reverse.
