Collector's Notes
Relpo and Samson Import pieces like this often sit in the sweet little corner of 1960s nursery and kitsch collecting.
This one suits someone who likes animal planters, baby room pieces, or small ceramic shelf decor with a lot of personality.
The base marks and foil sticker are worth noticing, especially since many little planters lose their paper labels over time.
Not perfect, but still very much itself. Tiny pig, big opinions.
If you collect Relpo or Samson Import pieces, this 1965 pink floral piggy bank planter still has its base mark and original foil sticker. If it's the one you've been looking for, it's ready to come home.
