Molded Ceramic Floral Piggy Bank
A large piggy bank constructed of slip-cast earthenware with a light cream-colored glaze. The stylized figure is modeled with a smiling expression, featuring an open mouth with a pink tongue, a black snout, and large forward-facing blue eyes with dark eyelashes. The body is decorated with two sets of molded, raised floral motifs: one positioned on the forehead between the ears and another on the left flank. These decorations consist of red-petaled flowers accented with long, green frond-like leaves. A traditional coiled tail is modeled on the reverse. The bank features a vertical coin slot on the upper back. The underside is unglazed, revealing a white ceramic body with a small circular firing vent in the center. The base shows some dark smudges and general shelf wear, but bears no visible maker marks, signatures, or model numbers.
