A distinctive vintage corkscrew in cast metal, with an expressive sculptural form that gives the functional object the character of a small piece of metalwork. The curved handles and elongated central body create an almost fantastical, creature-like silhouette, with subtle facial details adding to its unusual character.
The cast surface has a pleasingly tactile quality, enhanced by a naturally developed patina and variations in tone across the metal. An impressed mark or monogram is present on the body, although the maker has not been identified.
Compact yet substantial in form, the corkscrew makes an appealing barware object for both use and display.
