Antique German 2 Pink Pigs Figurine Fairing

Porcelain : Antique : Pink Pig : Germany

 

Exceptionally nice pink pig figurine from the early 1900's. These were made in Germany, exported to the United States, and sold at train stations, and other tourist destinations, as souvenirs often with the name of the town, or state. This one has no stamped name. On the front of the base it says, "Good Old Animal". It's a mama pigs giving her piglet a bath, and the baby looks none to happy about it! Stamped in the mold, on the back, is, "Made in Germany", and "2929". Because it has the country of origin, it puts this piece after 1903. It's 3&3/4 inches tall, and 3&1/2 wide. Very nice condition except for a rough spot on one of the tips of the water pump. Mama pig's left arm is blunt on the end, but so is her other one, and both of baby pig's. There is no touch up paint, and it's smooth to the touch, so I'm sure it was made this way.
