Handmade Ceramic Piggy Bank

$90.00

Each piggy bank is hand made with stoneware, fired to cone 10 at Mudflat Studio in Somerville Massachusetts. I begin by creating the body on the wheel, then hand sculpt and attach the ears, feet, and tail. After it has bisque fired, I apply the glazes and fire to completion. Each piggy bank has a coin slot on top and comes with a cork stopper for the snout. Approximately 5-6” diameter and 6” tall.

What Is a Pre-Order?

A pre-order means your piggy bank doesn’t exist yet - it’s made specifically for you after your order is placed.

Pre-orders help me:

  • Work in small, thoughtful batches

  • Avoid overproduction and waste

  • Keep this practice sustainable and human

Timeline & Lead Time

  • Lead time: approximately 8–10 weeks

  • This includes throwing, sculpting, attaching, drying, trimming, bisque firing, glazing, glaze firing, and quality checks

  • Firing schedules depend on studio kiln availability, which can add natural variation to timing

I’ll always aim to ship sooner when possible, but this timeframe allows me to work carefully without rushing the process.
