Holmegaard piggy bank, Jacob E. Bang. Danish vintage/retro Cobalt/Bristol blue glass, kids money box. Moulded & dimpled hollow pig figurine

A beautiful dark Bristol/Cobalt/Royal blue Holmegaard piggy bank.
The design is attributed to Jacob E Bang for Holmegaard, Denmark.
I believe this little fellow is 60s/70s vintage based on the design.

Becoming increasingly scarce as the only way to empty them is to smash them! Therefore unused.

One end of the money slot looks slightly chipped but most likely to be from manufacturing processes. A couple of manufacturing imperfections from the moulding process. A couple of tiny surface marks/small scratches, but good for age and era. Perfectly useable, displayable and presentable.

Love heart shaped snout (that's slightly pearlescent), with hole too small to get money out. 12 x 9cm.

Nice collectable example, in a funky colour way - perfect for a modern or mid-century home. More for display for a grown-up, than for a child's toy - although it would look fab out of reach in a nursery!
