      Cute plump little piggies! Orange piggy looks relaxed while the arched back of the green one makes him look super active and giddy, like he's just going to spring off with a squeal!

      Thank you Lauren for your fantastic observant comment, you are absolutely right that one pig looks relaxed & the other about to take off lol! I thought they were a good complement to each other both in colors & shapes, those WV glassmakers gave their little animals such personality

      Thank you Scott for the super praise and admiring these lil pigs, they are cute and I love the colors too! Very hard to find them with a label, I do have the bigger Pilgrim version in amber that I previously posted and also reference catalogs for theirs

      Mani thank you for your sweet comment, I think we can agree these fellows have the cuteness factor as well as being much easier to care for than their real counterparts :)

      Thanks MrsT for your thoughtful comment & enjoying my piggie pair, they are grunting with delight at the praise, and I'm always very grateful for your kindness

      I especially love the green pig !~

      Hey! I have that same green pig! But it's smoky gray color. Now, where is he??

      Pigs are one of my favourite animals so of course I love these. That green pig is fantastic! (not taking away the merits of the sweet amber girl).

      Phil, Celiene & Karen, I'm so thrilled that you all liked the green pig best! Being a Pilgrim creation I think it has a superior shape to the Kanawha, definitely more lifelike in form. Thank you all for the lovely praise, and Celiene when you find your gray pig I hope we'll get to see it!
