Comments on: UPDATE – Walter Bosse Hedgehog Dishes: How to Spot the Differences https://www.alyssazukas.com/vintage-spotlight/walter-bosse-hedgehog-dishes-how-to-spot-the-differences/ by Alyssa Zukas Sun, 23 Nov 2014 08:42:07 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=3.9.40 By: Anthony Hollis https://www.alyssazukas.com/vintage-spotlight/walter-bosse-hedgehog-dishes-how-to-spot-the-differences/comment-page-1/#comment-1076 Thu, 25 Jul 2013 11:38:44 +0000 http://www.alyssazukas.com/?p=1785#comment-1076 I have had one of the cat egg cups for forty years, and recently worked out from yours and other sites exactly what it is. I have since bought another one for my wife which looks as good and well made as the first. I am reasonable sure they are not fakes. The only difference is that the latest purchase has whiskers whereas the first one does not. They are both marked Baller Austria on the base. It could be the after years of my children playing with the cat athe whiskers rubbed off. Did all the cats have whiskers please? If I could find one, how much would I expect tipsy for a genuine hedgehog please?

I just knew I loved the design but never knew anything about its origin. Thanks for the interesting info!

I picked up a silver plated ring holder with a “Bosse inspired” donkey on it yesterday at the car boot sale and was researching it when I found out about Bosse and his animals.
Thanks very much.
All the best,
rob

I have a set of the white ceramic trays and I agree they are “bosse-inspired” rather than fakes, in material choice and slight difference in appearance.
Happy collecting!

It is only about 1 1/2″ tall and the same in length.

How do I know if it is a genuine Walter Bosse poodle?

Thank you.

Elaine

Didn’t know anything about it until I noticed one on Ebay for £145.00 … mine appears to be one of your fakes :(
