Gmundner Keramik Piggy Bank Set – “Lilly” Scattered Flowers in 3 Sizes

Gmundner Keramik has been making ceramics in Gmunden, Austria since 1492 — one of the oldest pottery traditions in Central Europe, and since 2021 a UNESCO-recognized intangible cultural heritage. Their hand-painted pieces are made entirely in-house by a team of painters, each one unique. This set of three "Lilly" piggy banks in the Streublumen (scattered flowers) pattern is a genuine example of that tradition.

The Streublumen pattern — scattered bluebell, red lungwort, and yellow marsh marigold flowers across a crisp white glaze — is one of Gmundner's most beloved designs alongside their famous Green Flamed. The "Lilly" pig form is still made today and sold new as a personalized gift for births and weddings, which tells you something about how enduring the design is. A single medium pig retails new from Gmundner at over $140. This vintage set of three — small, medium, and large, the large at an impressive 20 inches — is a rare find.

Each pig has its original cork stopper. All three are in excellent condition.
