Description from the seller

Rare ceramic money box signed ORCHIES (a brand associated with the Moulin des Loups), from the 1920s–1940s.
An authentic and highly sought-after piece today, mainly because the vast majority of these piggy banks have been... broken to retrieve their contents!

This model, depicting three three-dimensional pears, is one of the most decorative and sought-after pieces from ORCHIES porcelain. The colors are vibrant, and the antique crackle glaze offers a beautiful patina.

General condition

Very beautiful packaging for a utility item from this period.

Faïencerie d’ORCHIES, France
Brand 'ORCHIES' + mill and molded number.

Dimensions

Height 27 cm
Width 14 cm
Weight 819 g
