AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

This object is an iconic vintage Danish bird corkscrew and bottle opener made of teak wood, a very recognizable example of Scandinavian Mid-Century Modern design from the 1950s or 1960s by Danish designer Arne Basse.

During that period he designed a whole range of these humorous and functional teak wood animal figures (including variants of birds with a hat or a cigarette in their beaks) that served as corkscrews and bottle openers.

The object is in very good, intact and working condition. No scratches, and the original crest is fully present.

18 x 8.5 x 4.5 cm.
