Lot 204: Studio Pottery Piggy Bank, Signed & Dated '97

Description

Whimsical hand-thrown studio pottery piggy bank, featuring a round, freckled body raised on four stubby legs, with a comically oversized snout, upright ear, and quirky mismatched painted eyes that give the piece real personality. A coin slot is cut into the top of the back, making this a fully functional bank alongside its sculptural charm. The base is incised with an artist's monogram and dated '97. Handmade figural piggy banks like this are popular with collectors of studio pottery and folk-style ceramics for their playful character and one-of-a-kind hand-built construction. Measures approximately 4" H x 3.75" L x 3.5" W.

Condition:

Good condition overall. Glaze is glossy and intact with expected small pitting/specking from the firing process (see photos). No chips or cracks noted. Please review photos closely; we do our best to catch all flaws but small imperfections can be missed.
