BIG BIRD (Sesame Street / Muppets) bank -- with piggy bank

  This is a 6.25" ceramic bank showing Big Bird sitting inside of his bird's nest, holding a pink piggy bank on his left side.  The back of the piggy is the coin slot for this bank, and the original generic black rubber stopper is no longer present with the item.  The copyright information does not indicate who made this item or when it was manufactured, but in all likelihood, this is a 1990s piece.  It is undamaged and in near mint condition, with its only flaw being minor paint loss on the underside of the bank, where it connects with the tabletop or shelf on which it is placed.
