Vintage Holmegaard piggy bank, Jacob E. Bang. Danish retro pale blue grey glass, kids money box. Dimpled spotty hobnail hollow pig figurine

A beautiful pale blue/grey Holmegaard glass piggy bank. The design is attributed to Jacob E Bang for Holmegaard, Denmark. I believe this little fellow is late 1960s or 1970s vintage.

Pressed moulded/formed hollow glass figurine with cute love heart shaped snout, spotty/hobnail design and a curly tail. Roughly 12 x 8 x 9cm.

Very good condition. As with all of these the slot was cut in afterwards, so is rough and unfinished around the inner edges (looks slightly chipped but most likely to be from manufacturing processes). Being pressed glass there are visible moulding lines. Very useable, displayable and presentable.

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