Scheurich 791 piggy bank, West German ceramic/pottery. Vintage/retro red flower kids money box. Floral pig figurine, savings. Fat lava 70s

A striking red Scheurich West German pottery piggy bank. I believe this little fellow is 1960s/1970s vintage, fat lava era, and very much using those colourings. He's model no 791, like the 792, but has no way of getting coins out (no opening). Becoming increasingly scarce as the only way to empty them is to smash them!

Pottery/ceramic shaped pig. Four leaf clover tail. Adorable face with yellow snout and cute rounded body! Glossy glazes in deep red with hand painted flower/foliage design in Navy blue and greeny yellow.

13.5cm long x 11.5cm high.

Excellent collectable example, in a great 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. He is empty, suggesting he has never been used. He has hollow/open feet from manufacture, but a coin would never fall through. Stamped to base with '791'.

#2 of 2: The other example has some coins in.

Includes P&P to the UK.
