A collection of 4 anthropomorphic glazed ceramic money boxes produced by Wade Ceramics for the National Westminster Bank promotional campaign during the 1980s. The group includes various family members representing the different tiers of the savings scheme. Figures present include a large pig in blue dungarees with a red and white striped tie; a pig in a light blue patterned top and black skirt with a grey handbag; a pig in a green school pinafore and striped tie; and a seated infant pig in a white nappy with a blue safety pin. Each piece features a high-gloss finish. The undersides are embossed with the Wade England mark. Each money box retains its original black rubber stopper, which is moulded with the NatWest brand name and chevron logo.
