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

A beautiful turquoise blue Holmegaard 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.

Good vintage condition with some tiny signs of age/use. There's a small graze near a dimple on his backside, very hard to see. The slot looks to have been cut in wonky, so the moulding and the cut slot don't quite align. The money slot looks slightly chipped but most likely to be from manufacturing processes. Being pressed glass there are visible moulding lines. Perfectly useable, displayable and presentable - I'd give him a pretty good 8.5/10.

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.
