Ten Little Old Erzgebirge Carved and Hand-painted Wooden Pigs turned wood antique clothes pin and the sides feature brassI have to think this collection of 10 antique German hand carved and painted little wooden pigs was formed over time, gathering a pig or two from various sets of farm animals. And quite a wonderful collection I think it is, with a range of sizes and varieties, all of them quite old I believe, and very charmingly painted, and lending themselves to all sorts of arrangements. (And, happily, some balance well on the backs of others!) Very sweet. Largest
