Description
This lot features two distinct decorative figurines. The first is a stylized Italian ceramic coin bank in the form of a pig. The figure is glazed in white and hand-painted with a dense daisy floral pattern featuring yellow centers, white petals, green foliage, and blue accents. The face is detailed with pink cheeks and a smiling expression. It includes a coin slot behind the ears and a large opening at the base. The underside is hand-marked with a B inside a stylized four-lobed flower and the word ITALY in capital letters. The second item is a traditional German-style wooden incense smoker, or Rauchermann, depicting a seated woodcarver. The figure is composed of carved and painted wood, wearing a green felt-textured hat and a blue fabric apron. He features synthetic hair and a mustache and is shown carving a miniature horse. The base includes adhered wood shavings and a separate small wooden component representing an additional carving.
Ceramic Pig Bank: 8.75 inches
Wooden Incense Smoker: 6.25 inches.
Condition report:
Both items are in good overall condition. The ceramic pig bank shows no visible chips, cracks, or repairs, though the original base stopper is absent. The wooden smoker shows minor surface dust and light wear consistent with age and typical display use.
