Ceramic piggy bank 1970s

This hand-decorated piggy bank was made in Portugal in the 1970s and is exemplary of the country's long-standing ceramic art tradition. The softly rounded, compact form is complemented by a characteristically simplified, almost illustrative face, which gives the object a friendly and accessible appearance. The subtle, hand-painted decoration of small floral motifs and fine cobalt blue details creates a light, harmonious effect with folkloric and Mediterranean echoes. The visible traces of handwork emphasize the individual character of each piece and point to the artisanal production. As a decorative object, this piggy bank combines functional utility with an independent aesthetic quality and reflects the design tradition of Portuguese faience work from the second half of the 20th century. The condition corresponds to the original, although slight scratches and signs of wear typical for its age may be present.

Royal Copenhagen ist eine der renommiertesten dänischen Porzellan- und Keramikmarken, bekannt für ihre hohe handwerkliche Qualität und zeitloses Design. Charakteristisch sind elegante Formen, kunstvolle Glasuren und oft handbemalte Dekore, die skandinavische Schlichtheit mit künstlerischem Ausdruck verbinden. Besonders geschätzt sind Serien wie „Baca“ und „Fajance“, die den Mid-Century-Stil mit abstrakten und organischen Mustern verkörpern.
