Antique Rocking Pig

By scottbernice, 4 April, 2010
Description

Photo included. Bought near Liege, Belgium in the oldest village in Belgium, Tongeren. There's a weekly antique market inside the roman walls. We bought this pig but the seller knew nothing about it. It has an asian feel to it, with asian eyes and markings that resemble figures you might find in Thailand or perhaps India? Many British colony items find there way to these markets so could be indian, pakistan, etc.

Re: Antique Rocking Pig

Awesome..I have one similar to this one and I love it. I'm very surpised that the coloring is almost identical! I've never seen another one like it. Mine actually has a handle on it to hold on to while they rock and my children have played on it for years. I would like to know what mine is worth.
