The Killing of a Piggy Bank

Filed under: Art

This delicate little piggy bank vase is unexpectedly attractive considering it's meant to represent the ushering in of digital currency and the extinction of physical money, paused at the exact moment the hammer hits the piggy. I suspect in this recession some will also be inspired to see it as representative of the need to break into savings to survive. The Killing of a Piggy Bank is the result of a collaboration between Marcel Wanders and Royal Delft for Moooi, and is the latest addition to the Delft Blue Collection of porcelain vases. $1,288

With this piece on a shelf somewhere, your frugal side makes its subtle yet cheeky appearance and your charitable side does too: Allen will donate 5% of proceeds to The Humane Society.

In celebration of the Chinese New Year, why not give a gift that commemorates the year of the pig and helps a friend achieve a goal? I think there is nothing more appropriate to give this year than a old fashioned piggy bank. Mind you, it's not just any piggy bank. No, it's a porcelain pig coated in fabulous gold from design guru Jonathan Adler. It's the perfect piece of bling that can help you save money for fantastic vacations or a new pair of shoes.
