This vintage ceramic piggy bank is molded in a stylized porcine form with a rounded body, short legs, and small pointed ears. The item is constructed from yellowware or stoneware and finished with a mottled Rockingham-style glaze in shades of amber and brown. Two circular spots of lighter yellow glaze decorate the side. A horizontal coin slot is positioned along the upper spine. A silver-toned foil label is adhered to the top, which reads SOUVENIR arched over CHESTER, W. VA. This label identifies the piece as a souvenir item from Chester, West Virginia, a prominent pottery production center in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
