A charming piece of mid-century whimsy, this vintage "Fritz" dachshund bank was imported by National Potteries Co. of Cleveland, Ohio and made in Japan. Finished in a rich, glossy chocolate brown glaze, Fritz features sweet, expressive eyes, sculpted floppy ears, and classic long-bodied dachshund proportions.
A vintage padlock and key at the collar add to its unique character, making it as decorative as it is collectible. The underside is impressed with "FRITZ" and "NPC" and retains the original National Potteries foil label, authenticating the piece.
Whether displayed on a shelf, added to a dachshund collection, or enjoyed as a nostalgic vintage accent, this rare ceramic bank is a standout piece for dog lovers and collectors alike.
Marked: National Potteries Co., Cleveland, Ohio • Made in Japan • "FRITZ" / NPC impressed on underside.
