Description from the seller
Danish Mid-Century Modern Teak and Oak Bird Piggy Bank – 1960s
A rare and highly charming vintage Danish wooden piggy bank in the shape of a bird.
This piece is a beautiful example of Scandinavian Mid-Century Modern design from the 1960s, where functionality and playful craftsmanship come together perfectly.
The piggy bank is handcrafted from a harmonious combination of **solid teakwood and oak**. The contrast between the light body and the dark details (such as the wings and the head) gives the figure extra depth.
What immediately stands out are the large, expressive layered eyes that give the bird a unique, lively look.
On the back is the coin slot.
The built-in locking mechanism is typical of Danish designs from this period: the beak serves as a clever lock ("locking snout"). By turning the beak to the correct position, the money can be accessed from the inside.
An iconic and functional collectible that fits perfectly in a modern, minimalist or vintage interior.Details & SpecificationsPeriode: Jaren 60
