AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Walter Bosse for Hertha Baller. Figurine, monkey, brass, mid-20th century.
Wear, stains, verdigris. Originally a holder for salt/pepper shakers - these are missing.
Height 9 cm
Very good condition; small signs of aging; beautiful patina of the metal.
Walter Bosse (1904 – 1979) was a Viennese artist, designer, ceramist, potter, metalworker, and craftsman noted for his modernist bronze animal figurines and grotesques. In the late 1940s, Bosse began experimenting with brass by giving his ceramic figures a metal coating to protect them from breakage. He formed a partnership with Herta Baller, whose company (the Herta Baller Company) manufactured and marketed the brass figurines, this collaboration was called the Bosse/Baller company. In the early 1950s, Bosse and Baller began exploring a new style of brass called the “Black Gold Line” or "Black Golden Line" of brass figurines. He transitioned all of his efforts to brass and the figures became popular worldwide
