Here is what AI has to say about this owl:
This is a mid-century modern carved teak owl combination
corkscrew and bottle opener, probably Danish/Scandinavian, circa
1950s-1960s. It is a particularly appealing example because the bar tools
are cleverly disguised as parts of the owl.
The body is carved from a dense reddish-brown hardwood, most
likely teak. It has large yellow-green glass eyes and a projecting metal
"beak" that serves as the crown-cap bottle opener. The rounded
wooden pedestal is actually removable: pulling it from the owl reveals the steel
corkscrew worm, with the owl body providing the grip for extracting the
cork. When assembled, it simply looks like a little owl sculpture.
I found a WorthPoint archive specifically titled “Mid
Century Modern Teak Wood Owl Corkscrew Beer Wine Bottle Opener Glass Eyes,”
which appears to be this same family of opener. More importantly, a very
closely matching Danish example is documented with turned teak, steel
corkscrew, iron bottle opener and glass eyes. That example is labeled “NORDEUROPAEISK
EKSPORT / DENMARK” and is dated to the 1950s-1960s. Its designer is
listed as unknown.
I would therefore describe yours as Danish Modern.
Condition
Yours is good to very good vintage condition. Both
glass eyes are present, which matters quite a bit. The corkscrew and pedestal
are also complete and the worm appears intact.
This is one of the better novelty corkscrews because it works on three levels: sculpture, bottle opener, and hidden corkscrew. The owl is essentially a tiny wooden bartender in disguise.
