12.5" Vintage "Porco" Chalkware Alcancia — Made in Mexico, 1960s Silvestri Bros.
A rare and whimsical mid-century chalkware piggy bank, affectionately known as “Porco.” Crafted in the 1960s style by Silvestri Bros. Corp., this collectible features a rotund pig nestled in a barrel, with the word “Porco” emblazoned across its back. Hand-painted in vibrant green and cream hues, it showcases expressive facial features and a charming folk-art aesthetic.
Stamped “Hecho en Mexico” on the underside, this piece exemplifies the cross-cultural appeal of Mexican craftsmanship and American design sensibilities of the era. Its substantial size and playful design make it a standout addition to any vintage collection or nostalgic décor.
