ABOUT PRODUCTID 14729
This wooden fish-shaped bottle opener is an example of Polish craftsmanship from the 1970s, made from solid beech wood with a metal opener element embedded within the center of the figure. The design follows an organic, streamlined silhouette, blending mid-century modern influences with echoes of Polish folk tradition. The warm, light brown body features a satin, semi-gloss finish accented by darker shades around the eye, gill, and tail lines, reinforcing the natural, decorative aesthetic. The visible wood grain enhances tactile quality, for a smooth yet tangible texture. Proportions are carefully considered for ergonomic handling, with expertly concealed joints suggesting either a single-piece carve or meticulous joinery. The steel opener is precisely set into the underside of the 'head', seamlessly uniting utility and form. The item is in excellent, original condition with no signs of use or restoration. This opener speaks to the spirit of the 1970s, when everyday objects were elevated through thoughtful design and the interplay of function and form was resolved by a renewed embrace of natural materials. The stylized fish form recalls the conviviality of home gatherings, where even opening a bottle became an occasion for subtle celebration and a nod to traditional craft. Its harmonious shape, gentle luster, and understated detailing evoke a sense of playful nostalgia and understated sophistication. Such an object could find its place not only in the kitchen but as a discreet decorative accent in the living or dining area. It may be paired with sturdy
