This vintage gray 1957 Corky Piggy Bank made by Hull Pottery sold recently at auction for $305.

Hull piggy banks and other Hull pottery items are popular collector items. There are collectors clubs that specialize in collecting Hull Pottery and there are numerous books about Hull pottery. Hull pottery prices continue to rise as demand from collectors increases and the supply of pieces in mint condition falls.

Hole-eye piggy banks were made from the 1880s until about 1920. They were one of the earliest piggy banks to be made in large quantities. Most of them were made in Czechoslovakia or Austria and were imported to the United States. Due to their age and composition of the pottery, they are usually fragile, so most of them have some type of damage. They are made of light stoneware and have a colorful glassy drip glaze over the upper half of the piggy bank. This glaze is prone to flaking. These banks are usually unmarked, marked with the country of origin, or may be marked “foreign.” There is no hole in the bottom to retrieve the coins.

Be sure to enter our contest to win a free piggy bank! The contest runs until July 18, 2011. The winner will get to choose any piggy bank in stock at www.foreverpiggybanks.com up to a price of $25 and will get free shipping to have it sent to them.
