-Savings Bank (house)- still bank c. 19th century

This 19th-century porcelain "Savings Bank" is a charming example of a decorative and functional object. The bank is shaped like a small house with an orange roof and a slot for coins on the top. It is decorated with a scene of a young boy standing in front of a shop with a bag of money, a visual reminder of the importance of saving. The whimsical detail and colorful glaze make this a delightful piece of folk art that likely served as a charming educational tool for young savers.
