Walter Bosse Vintage MCM Austrian 1960s Brass Cow Candle Holder Egg Cup Trinket

Walter Bosse Cow Egg Cup - Vintage Mid Century Original Austrian 1960s Brass Cow Candle Holder Figurine Walter Bosse first started producing figurines as collectibles in the 1950s using a unique method of patina on polished brass; the patina is polished off to reveal shiny brass beneath. Great example of an Austrian brass egg cup/candle holder. This modernist cow from the 50s is in great condition with good patina. These were originally used as egg cups, or for use with cute round wax candles. They fit a tealight inside. I have also seen these used as ashtrays. Last images shows an original page from a 1960s catalog with Bosse's designs showing the cow used with round wax candles under #K10. 4" tall x 2.5" wide x 3" tall
