ABOUT PRODUCTID 1504
The Black Piggie piggy bank from the 1980s exemplifies German decorative design, crafted from vitrified ceramic with a glossy, glazed surface. Its primary color is a deep, mirror-like black, accented by a turquoise-green ribbon that wraps around the body and forms a bow on the back. The snout is highlighted in pinkish-red, while expressive eyes are detailed with yellow and white, lending the pig a cheerful and lively appearance. The inner ears feature subtle pink accents. The overall form is rounded and well-balanced; the object stands firmly on four short legs, and the glazed surface reflects light, creating a sense of depth. The style is slightly cartoonish, characteristic of late 20th-century decorative objects. There are no signs of wear or damage—condition is excellent.
This piece seems to narrate the spirit of the 1980s, an era when design embraced bold colors and playful forms, challenging the seriousness of daily life. Black Piggie evokes that period's aesthetic: graphic contrasts, softness of line, and a joyful approach to everyday objects. The glazed ceramic, vivid accents, and friendly facial expression create an air of lightness and whimsical detachment, as if the piggy bank invites a sense of play and a return to the uncomplicated pleasures of childhood.
It brings a distinctive accent to a living room or lounge—one could pair it with other 1980s objects, such as pop-art graphics or colorful plastic lamps. It would work well on a shelf among books or vinyl records, where it can break up the monotony of simple forms. Placing it against a light background or on a minimalist bookcase is
