Distinguishing Characteristics - Most Interesting About The Piece: This is a very nice Breininger piece with unusual shape, look, and colors made by the Master potter himself. Needless to say Mr. Breininger has passed away in December 2011 and his pottery has become highly desirable. Condition: The bank is in very good condition with no cracks, no repairs, no chips, or hairlines. The piece has signs of glaze crazing throughout. The piece also has some of the normal defects you would expect in a piece of primitive pottery of this type such as spots where the glaze did not fully flow, pops, slubs, and surface roughness. This particular piece has a minimum of these issues. Finally the bank came to us with a coin in it and we are selling as found with the coin still in it and you can hear it. Be that as it may, the piece is solid and intact and would make a great addition to your collection. Please see photos for additional condition information.
