Vintage Anchor Hocking Forest Green Glass Piggy Bank

This is a vintage emerald or 'forest green' pressed glass piggy bank, attributed to Anchor Hocking and dating back to the 1960s. The item features a rounded, bulbous body with four molded stubby legs and a distinctive rectangular coin slot at the top. The glass is thick and heavy, characteristic of mid-century mass-produced utility glass. Architecturally, the piece shows a two-part mold construction with visible vertical seams running through the center of the face and back. The eyes and snout are detailed with simple molded indentations. The color is a deep, vibrant green that exhibits high transparency and bright highlights when exposed to light. Condition-wise, the external surfaces appear glossy with no major chips or cracks visible in the primary photo, though there is some light surface scuffing and minor internal residue common with age. The interior of the coin slot shows sharp edges typical of factory finishing. There are no decorative paints or cold-painted features, which is common for this specific mold. The lack of a bottom opening indicates that the bank was designed to be either decorative or required breaking to retrieve funds, a common trait for older glass banks which adds to their rarity when found intact. The craftsmanship is solid but functional, reflecting the industrial production standards of the era.
