THE ITEM

Presenting this beautifully stylised brass horse of the recognised Walter Bosse design - design number 2. The design of this piece carries the influences typical of the Mid Century Modern times which would have been at the height of it's popularity during the time the horse was crafted.

Mid Century Modern design influences can include an 'atomic feel' that transforms ordinary geometric shapes into curves and waves and an exaggeration of length or stylising and this influence is evident in the design of this piece.

A elegant and sophisticated accent piece, this would suit a vintage, contemporary, Mid Century Modern and even industrial decor themed room.

A BIT OF HISTORY

Walter Bosse (November 13, 1904 – December 13, 1979) was a Viennese artist, designer, ceramist, potter, metalworker, and craftsman noted for his modernist bronze animal figurines. Bosse’s work grew in popularity and a number of his pieces were shown at the International Exposition of Modern Industrial and Decorative Arts in 1925. He started designing for Augarten Porcelain Works (1924) as well as Goldscheider (1926) and Metzler and Ortloff (1927). In 1931, to meet increasing demand (especially in America). 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 Hertha Baller, whose company (the Hertha 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.

In Vienna, the Herta Baller Company continued to make and sell Bosse's designs. Bosse also collaborated with Karlsruhe State Majolika Works on a number of pottery animal figures.

This exquisitely intricate, Japanese Cloisonné enamel piece is dated to c.1900 from the Meiji era (1868-1912) by Takahara Komajiro 高原駒次郎 of Kyoto.

Currently held on consignment at Andrews Oakville

Takahara is referenced as the most well-known and consistent maker of Kyoto-Jippo (tr. 'Cloisonné') wares, founding a workshop in 1894. The Cloisonné technique is revered for hand-applying thin wire or metal and different coloured enamels. The technique has been elevated to astounding heights in this piece when you consider the detailed wired sections are as thin as 1mm in width.

Also present are Takahara's signature design characteristics despite being unsigned; most notably the floral patterns and the 'Takara-mono' (tr. 'treasured items') featured in the roundels. Further indications of Takahara's style can be seen in the green overlapping scales and band of dotted red circlets brocading the foot and rim of the vase. From delicate sprigs of Sakura Cherry Blossom to Moutan Peonies and Wisteria, the Cloisonné flourishes with elements of jewel-coloured enamel in a joyful celebration of flora in bloom.

The exceptional skill in delicately applying the cloisonne in such a diminutive size is a true wonder and the condition of the enamel décor makes this piece a rare find. Not only did Takahara's Cloisonné skill contend with creating the enamel art in minute detail, but it was also applied to the rise and fall of each curve for the 6 lobes. This fantastic work of art makes a superbly decorative and highly collectable art feature.

CONDITION
Very Good. There is mild surface bruising with traces of enamel loss, minor impressions to the rim and base, as well as some natural enamel pitting that is commensurable with age, please see the photos as part of the condition report. 

MEASUREMENTS
Height: c. 3.7" / 9.5 cm x c. 1.8" / 4.5 cm diameter (across widest point). Base diameter: c. 1" /  2.5 cm. Rim diameter: c. 0.7" / 1.7 cm. Unpackaged weight [pair]: c. 0.1 kg / 65 g

Presenting a striking work of mid-century German Brutalist design, formed into an Etagere, or table shelf. 

The form of this piece is an uncommon retelling of the popular Atomic design tiered plant tables created in Formica. The iconic characteristics of sharp and dramatically defined curves complimented by the triple threading carry echoes of great Modernist designers and sculptors such as Dame Barbara Hepworth. 

The texture of the main structure is highly tactile with an effect reminiscent of indented metal created from the heating and striking of a hammer. 

The stylised, eye-catching form piece makes this piece a rare find that can be displayed as a standalone piece or for functional use. 

CONDITION
Excellent. Most notable wear are the mild age stains that are commensurable with the age of the piece. Please refer to photographs as they form part of the condition report.

Currently held on consignment at Andrews Oakville

This excellent example of mid-century Modernist design is by Norwegian sculptor Gunnar Havstad (b.1901 - d. 1973) for his Pewter studio Havstad in Nesodden, Norway. 

A design from the Machine age, Havstad brought to life the Modernist design principles of realising an honest expression of the function and natural material through the closely grooved circles to give a tactile décor. 

A beautiful example of Scandinavian Modern design, this work is suitable for standalone display or lightly accented as a Ikebana vase.

A BIT OF HISTORY
Gunnar Havstad (b.1901 - d. 1973) was a Norwegian sculptor, author and tinsmith who received his education at the Academy of Fine Arts in Stockholm with Carl Milles, professor at the Royal Academy of Fine Arts in Stockholm. Havstad founded his namesake studio Havstad in 1928 in Nesodden, Norway. With just a dozen employees to create the designs, the factory went on to become the oldest pewter factory in Norway. Gunnar Havstad became known for having renewed the form expression in pewter and tin who was not afraid to mix pewter, tin with wood, brass and leather. Gunnar's son Sveinung Havstad took over the running of the company in the same workshop that was built in 1928.
