Topic: Holmegaarde piggy?

No, these will be a plain design - likely called 'London' because that's where they were first exhibited, as was often the way with Holmegaard design titles.

My own theory (as yet unproven) is that they pop up in the UK so frequently and in many different (and generally non-Holmegaard) colours because production of some of them was outsourced to a UK company at some point in the 1960s/70s, much as they did with Cascade Glass for the 'Gulvvase'...

I should probably keep my mouth shut in public forums when broadly speculating - I've just spotted an eBay auction for a Cascade moneybox that mentions in the text that Cascade also made moneyboxes for Holmegaard - clearly an idea taken from here and presented as fact. Incredibly frustrating!

Trouble is, speculative posts sometimes do lead to interesting places - after all, it was mention of Gulvvases with Cascade labels on here by Adam P that lead me to hunt out their background. But is it worth it if they (the ideas) are just going to get twisted out of context in the meanwhile?
