Peak-box in the shape of a turtle - made by Sica Sicart Italy - in original condition.
This vintage ceramic piggy bank in the shape of a turtle is a characteristic design by Sica Sicart from Italy, dating from the seventies. The object stands out due to its playful silhouette and the lively, hand-painted floral decoration on the shell, making it a charming collector's item.
Crafted from glazed ceramic, this piece displays a striking orange base color, accented with blue, yellow, and green details in the floral motif. The bottom is marked 'ITALY' and the number '679', confirming its origin and authenticity. The money box is fitted with a plastic stopper at the bottom, ensuring it remains functional for use.
The object is in good condition commensurate with its age and use. The original shine of the glaze has been well preserved, and the piece retains its authentic vintage character without structural defects.
This decorative money box is a refined addition to an eclectic or retro interior. The object looks excellent on a sideboard, in a display cabinet, or as a playful accent on a bookshelf, where it adds a touch of Italian design from the seventies.
Sustainable and environmentally conscious: By supplementing your interior with vintage items, you are acting in an environmentally conscious manner. After all, no new raw materials need to be used for this product. When you choose vintage, you use what is already available, and that makes it sustainable. You may be giving these objects not just a second, but even a third or fourth life. Vintage products are of high quality and last for several lifetimes for good reason. There is a story behind every vintage product. The often minimal signs of use offer a glimpse into the life of the previous owner. The extent to which these signs of use are present is stated in the description. Photos are part of this description, so please examine them carefully. Vintage (read: used) items sometimes show color variations, uneven wear, and/or normal wear. Please take this into account when making a purchase.
When shipped, the item is carefully packed to prevent damage. I ship in recycled and eco-friendly boxes.
