On offer is a charming antique German porcelain fairing depicting two cheerful pigs emerging from a sack, designed as a novelty money box. The piece features softly modelled pig figures with expressive faces, sitting together above a tied sack form which contains the coin slot positioned behind the pigs.

Porcelain fairings were small novelty figures produced in Germany during the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, often sold at fairs and seaside resorts as inexpensive souvenirs or whimsical decorative items. Many were designed with humorous subjects or practical functions such as money boxes, making them popular collectable pieces today.

This example stands approximately 3.5 inches tall. The condition is good overall with a small tight hairline visible towards the base. The money box has no opening, suggesting it was originally intended to be broken to retrieve the coins, which was typical for novelty money banks of the period.
