Thistle Large Piggy Bank

Wemyss Ware® is Scotland's most famous pottery. Hand finished and hand painted in Ceres, Fife at the Griselda Hill Pottery since 1985. Fife is the birthplace of Wemyss® pottery in 1882. 

The lovely spiky thistle with its delicate purple flowers is the traditional Flower of Scotland, and adorns many Wemyss® pieces.

In Bohemia the pig is a symbol of good luck, and chocolate pigs are traditional New Year presents. It is believed that Karel Nekola brought his enthusiasm for pigs with him from his homeland, and persuaded his boss at the Fife Pottery to make them in several sizes. They were an immediate success, finding their way into many living rooms to enchant generations.

In Bohemia, where Karel Nekola was born, pigs are symbols of good luck. Our magnificent Large Wemyss Ware® Pig is a great focal point for any room.
