Walter Bosse was an Austrian designer and ceramist, renowned for his distinctive animal figures crafted from brass or ceramic. Starting his career in Vienna during the 1920s, Bosse quickly established a reputation. His creations are marked by straightforward yet evocative shapes, frequently imbued with humor and appeal. In the 1950s, he initiated his celebrated "black gold" series, featuring animal sculptures created through a patination process on brass. This series played a crucial role in solidifying his status as a prominent 20th-century designer. Bosse's work continues to be admired by collectors and design aficionados globally.
