Folded ears hang over its black eyes, and russet tones show through the rubbed cream paint along its rounded back and low-set snout. Four glossy black hooves give the soft palette a crisp finish.

Cast in solid iron, the pig has enough heft to hold a stack of handwritten recipes in place. It looks especially at home on a pine kitchen dresser beside a row of cream ironstone.

The figurine is unmarked, with maker and country of origin unknown. Estimated late 20th to early 21st century.

Measures 6″ long × 2.75″ deep × 2.5″ tall.

In very good vintage condition, with scattered wear to the cream finish and small paint chips on the undersides of the hooves. See less
