Pear still bank c. 1976

"Pear Still Bank" is a ceramic sculpture by Lester Breininger, created around 1976. The piece, crafted in a brown glaze, depicts a stylized pear with a single slot for inserting coins. The organic form and simple design evoke a sense of whimsy and practicality, making it a delightful example of functional art. The piece is currently housed at the Minneapolis Institute of Art.
