Pig still bank c. mid 20th century

This ceramic piggy bank, created by an anonymous artist in the mid-20th century, is a charming example of folk art. The piece is hand-crafted and features a whimsical, stylized depiction of a pig with a brown and white marbled glaze. The playful design and small size, measuring only 2 1/4 x 3 7/8 x 2 inches, suggest that it was intended for a child's use. This piggy bank, now housed at the Minneapolis Institute of Art, is a testament to the enduring appeal of traditional folk art and its ability to spark joy and imagination.
