AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Vintage duck-shaped piggy bank (silver metal), Europe, 20th century.

An original decorative and functional figurine in the shape of a duck-shaped piggy bank, made of metal with a silver finish. It features a top slot to insert coins and a lower lid/compartment for retrieving the contents, a system typical of European piggy banks from the mid-20th century. The blue cabochon eyes stand out, giving it a very attractive, mid-century character.

The piece is ideal both as a decorative object (display cabinet, desk, shelf) and for collectors of piggy banks and vintage figurines.
