Meet Theo! Short for Theosaurus--derived from the Latin term "thesaurus" or treasure—these high-quality porcelain and bone china piggy banks are truly a treasure to behold! Piggy banks were invented in Asia Minor 4,000 years ago, and they have since spread around the world. They were once small chests in which savings were kept. Theo is a modern piggy bank in four editions designed by Morphorm's Martin Schatz, in cooperation with Lee Kmji. The series is crafted in Thuringia by Wallendorfer Porzellanmanufaktur, a German porcelain maker founded in 1764 and steeped in tradition. The shoes of the standing Theo are made from actual cork, a premium natural product, and are produced by the oldest cork specialist in Germany. The sitting version of Theo features a quality metal lock.
