This pig-shaped piggy bank was manufactured in West Germany in the 1970s and is characterized by its reduced, clear design. The compact, slightly abstracted form follows the design approach of West German post-war ceramics, in which functionality and a concise formal language are paramount. The deep navy blue glaze gives the object a calm yet expressive presence and emphasizes the smooth, closed surface. Through the deliberate reduction to form and color, a small, sculptural everyday object is created that combines both functional utility and decorative character. As a typical example of so-called "West German Pottery," the piece reflects the design development between 1949 and 1990 and possesses a corresponding collector's value. The condition corresponds to the original, although slight scratches and signs of wear typical of its age may be present.
