vintage clear glass piggy bank manufactured for Irma. This highly collectible piece of European mid-century glass features a molded, figural standing pig design with charming attention to detail.
The side of the bank features the distinctive, embossed \"Irma\" maker\'s mark framed cleanly within a rounded cartouche. These banks carry a fascinating history—originally produced in Denmark in connection with famed glassworks like Holmegaard, they were filled with raw kitchen staples (such as rice) as a supermarket novelty item. Once empty, families would cut a slot into them to reuse them as a coin bank.
Perfect for collectors of vintage glass banks, mid-century Scandinavian design, or unique country-style kitchen decor.Specifications• Brand/Marking: Irma (embossed on side)
