Miss Piggy Ceramic Piggy Bank

This item is a vintage ceramic figural bank depicting the iconic Muppets character, Miss Piggy. The figure stands approximately 8 to 10 inches tall and is constructed from glazed earthenware or slip-cast ceramic. Miss Piggy is featured in her signature style with blonde hair, distinctive blue eyes with heavy eyelashes and blue eyeshadow, wearing a lavender or light purple dress. She is depicted holding a single pink flower with a green stem and wearing a yellow necklace. The bank possesses a high-gloss finish, reflecting a mid-to-late 20th-century mass-production aesthetic, likely dating from the late 1970s or early 1980s during the height of The Muppet Show's popularity. The craftsmanship shows standard commercial quality for licensed character merchandise of that era, with hand-painted details over molded forms. Notable condition aspects include small chips or 'flea bites' on the glaze, particularly visible on the ears and the base. There is no visible maker's mark on the front, but such pieces were commonly produced by companies like Sigma or Gorham under Henson licensure. The piece shows some light surface dust and minor age-related crazing in the glaze, which is typical for vintage ceramic banks. No significant structural cracks or major repairs are evident from this angle.
