Dansk Designs Silver Plated Pig Paperweight Danish Swedish Gifts Presents

Vintage Dansk Designs Silver Plated Pig Paperweight - price is for 1 pig

These little piggies have a few signs of their age - but we still think they’re cute and deserve a good home.

Good/fair vintage condition with various signs of age including tarnish, scratches and little dents.

The condition is factored into the price.

You will be sent one of the piggies shown, at random.

Made of silver-plated zinc.

Designed by award-winning Swedish silversmith, Gunnar Cyren, for Dansk in the early 1970s and made in Japan in the 1970s/80s.

As well as looking great, these paperweights are extremely tactile and have a real quality feel about them. It would make a wonderful gift.

Have ‘Dansk Designs, Japan’ on the base plus EPZ signifying its manufacturing technique of electro-plated zinc, a technology that the Japanese led the world in at the time.

Dansk Designs was started in the 1950s by an American who toured Europe seeking out talented designers to produce a range of homewares he could sell to the US market. The range was designed to showcase Scandinavian design to an international audience and due to their wonderful combination of form and function Dansk Design items have become highly collectible including in their ‘home country’ of Denmark.
