Featured Little piggy bank recently found

Won this on ebay auction, don't collect pottery but find it lovely at a lovely cost (less than £3 plus £4 shipping). Search on Google, told it's antique Austrian

 

would think more likely british creamware with a whieldon glaze

old as well

maybe like early 19th

Thanks and WOW. Don't think that listing price is serious!

 

It's definitely on the high end. I'd think more like another sellers $50, but you never can tell.

 

no i thought the same, but the ebay seller seems to specialize in yellow ware or cream ware, so obviuosly knows what hes talking about

 

Probably something we don't spot, making his piggies special!

 

Yeah I checked the sold listing and it's mostly 40~50. Still a great deal for mine!

 

Roseville Pottery of Zanesville, Ohio made a quite similar bank circa early 20th c.

 

Thank you, that explains so many piggies in US ebay

 

There is also this one, not as expensive, but still much more than the price you paid:

exactly

 

My mother collected these piggy banks. Some where I have one very similar to yours around here somewhere. This one I knew where - What I like is the tag my mother taped to the bottom. My mother did not trust us to know . It is a joke in our family. When you buy something good we all say "It has value"!

 

Well, she's right!
