Pair of 19th C. Painted Tin Coin Banks in Original Red, Blue and Silver Paint Italian porcelain but definitely she was sculptedI've had a few of these 19th century tin banks before, but I think this pair, found together, are especially beautiful, particularly for the deep blue paint hanging onto their short sides, which, together with the spires on one of them, really makes them feel rather holy more like alms boxes than coin banks! With beautiful aged surfaces featuring a combination of red, silver and blue paint, great all the way around. Sold as a pair. Each 4 1 4" t x 2 3
