Black and White Standing Piggy Bank

Wemyss Ware® is Scotland's most famous pottery. Hand finished and hand painted in Ceres, Fife at the Griselda Hill Pottery since 1985. Fife is the birthplace of Wemyss® pottery in 1882. 

Wemyss Ware® is known for their many striking designs and the real pig markings are always a hit with our pig lovers. Pigs, cats, mice and rabbits can all be decorated in this delightful traditional sponged design, which brings out their individual characters.  

In Bohemia the pig is a symbol of good luck, and chocolate pigs are traditional New Year presents. It is believed that Karel Nekola brought his enthusiasm for pigs with him from his homeland, and persuaded his boss at the Fife Pottery to make them in several sizes. They were an immediate success, finding their way into many living rooms to enchant generations.

Our lovely, naturalistic pig can also be made as a piggy bank complete with a rubber bung at the base.

• Height: 12cm
