Vintage Italian Sterling Silver Kitten Coin Bank

Charming and wonderfully expressive, this vintage sterling silver coin bank was crafted in Italy by the renowned Florentine silversmiths Pampaloni around the mid-20th century. The bank is modeled as a playful kitten, with a rounded body, perky ears, curled paws, and an upright tail that give the piece an irresistible sense of personality. Carefully modeled facial features, including large eyes, a petite nose, and a gently smiling mouth, add to its whimsical character.

The highly polished sterling silver surface beautifully complements the kitten’s smooth, sculptural form, reflecting the light and emphasizing its generous contours. Both decorative and functional, this delightful bank is an appealing example of the imaginative silverwork for which Pampaloni is known. It would make a particularly memorable gift for a new baby, a christening or birthday, as well as a charming addition to a collection of Italian silver or feline-themed objects.

Dimensions: The kitten measures approximately 4.5 inches tall, 6.1 inches wide, and 3.2 inches long.

Condition: This vintage coin bank presents beautifully, with light surface wear consistent with its age and previous use.
