Germany - more brands
Well known German Porcelain brands are Villeroy & Boch, Meissen and Goebel. From these 3 brands only Goebel made piggy banks and the famous Hummel figures. Most of the Goebel piggy banks do have a lock with key in the belly bottom. Very, very few original without! Those are in my collection.
Germany – Miscellaneous
Germany is the cradle of the Glückschweinchen. Nice examples are shown here and more miscellaneous. The original centre of the German earthenware industry was in Sachsen and Thüringen. And the borders of Poland and the Czech Republic (both former German Empire).
