In the late 19th century the concept of thrift became a principle by which parents encouraged their children to safe money by putting their pennies into a "piggy bank", thus the proliferation of these items by pottery manufacturers, this particular example marked "SS" on the underneath indicating "A Smith Ltd.", Longton, England whose ceramic, china, and pottery business began in 1846 by Sampson Smith. Nicely molded and in excellent condition, this proverbial pig themed penny bank is painted overall white with a multiplicity of green "spatter" spots, the pig standing on all fours has a twisted tail in back. The original finish is beautifully glazed resulting in a lovely patina to this completely original bank with no restoration or touch up paint of any kind and all of it's original hand paint intact. Since these type of antique banks typically were made without a coin removal trap, the only way to extract the coins would have been the old "knife in the slot" method and retrieving the pennies one by one; or the more simpler method of smashing and breaking the bank, which is why locating these banks is very difficult, rendering a fine example particularly rare. This example is a wonderful addition to a collection of authentic still banks, folk art, or for those who accumulate pig items. This recently came from an estate collection of pig still banks. A similar example is referenced as #633 "Two Toned Pig" in Andy Moore's "The Penny Bank Book" written in 1984 when collecting pottery banks...

Condition: Original Vintage Condition Materials: Tiger Oak, Original Mirror, Brass Pulls Style: French Art Nouveau This early 1900s Art Nouveau–style gentleman’s shaving stand captures the charm of old-world daily rituals, when grooming was a slow, intentional moment built into the rhythm of the morning. Crafted in the United States from richly figured tiger oak, it features its original tilting mirror mounted on a cast-metal arm, allowing a man to angle the glass perfectly in natural light before indoor bathrooms were common. The upper drawers and lower shelves once held razors, brushes, soaps, and water bowls, reflecting a time when personal care stations were elegant pieces of furniture rather than fixtures attached to walls. Brass pulls and soft Art Nouveau curves give the stand a refined presence, blending beauty with the practical craftsmanship that defined early 20th-century life. It remains in original vintage condition, carrying with it the warm patina and nostalgic character of a bygone era. Fun Historical Fact: Before the rise of modern plumbing, grooming stands like this acted as a personal “bathroom corner,” offering a dedicated space for shaving, washing, and preparing for the day. The adjustable mirror was a luxury innovation, allowing men to catch the best light from nearby windows for a safer and closer shave. Tiger oak furniture...
