A charming piggy bank designed by Eva Jancke Björk for Bo Fajans. While the piggy banks from Bo Fajans may share similar shapes, each one boasts a distinct hand-painted face and attire, making them unique. This particular piggy bank takes the form of a boy, with a beige-colored base glaze complemented by brown, chestnut brown, and green decorative elements. These piggy banks were produced during the period from 1944 to 1948.
