Can anybody help with this fishy bank? Looks and feels very similar to the Holmegaard Piggy Banks.

Many Thanks

Could it be designed by Jacob Bang?

Hi,

This is a Riihimaki fish/Piggy bank.  I've seen two over the last 6 months for sale, both had their original packaging confirming they are Riihimaki. Both sold for around the €40 mark. Not sure if they were part of Riihimaki's standard output or were produced as part of a company promotion for a bank or something like that. I haven't seen too many around, however, the two I have seen were boxed, 100% Riihimaki!
