Hand carved and painted 1950's Anri cork - A jolly chef! - Articulated - Very unique
Fantastic condition - A couple of nicks in the paint on the top of his hat, otherwise great.
When lever pulled in back, the chef's arm raises and the spoon he is using in his pot dips in and out. - Great gift for someone who loves to cook and drink wine!

History of Anri:
"Since 1912 Anri of Italy produces a variety of lovingly hand carved products.
Of all the vintage Anri collectibles, nothing is more recognizable to be Anri & collected with such vigor as the mechanical bottle stoppers. These charming caricatures were mostly hand carved from individual craftsmen, who worked from their homes & sold them to Anri. The subjects were entirely and intricately hand carved and varied from carver to carver so that no subject looked like the other."
