-C.D. Kenny Co. (pig)- still bank c. 20th century

This charming ceramic piggy bank, created by an anonymous artist in the early 20th century, is a delightful example of folk art. Its hand-painted glaze, featuring a vibrant mix of turquoise, white, and brown, adds character and whimsy to the simple form. The inscription “C.D. Kenny Co.” on its side suggests it was a commercial product, likely intended for children to save their coins. This piece, now part of the Minneapolis Institute of Art's collection, serves as a reminder of the enduring appeal of handmade objects.
