Lil pOtbelly Collectables

The Gorke foundation, Dutch information centre for pig lovers gives the opportunity to adopt an art piglet.

Everyone that adopts an art piglet contributes to the well being of the pigs in the world.

One third of the income benefits the USA pig organisation Pigs As Pets (FL).

The art piglets are called The Lil’ pOtbellies and are made (hand sculpted and painted) by pig artist Charles Stephan from the Dutch Atelier Babi Senang (The Happy Pig).

Each Lil’ pOtbelly has its own positive message. You can choose your own kind of piglet (breed, color etc.) and its own symbol.

There is a pOtbelly of Luck, a pOtbelly of Love, a pOtbelly of Trust and a pOtbelly of Hope.

These sculpted clay pOtbellies (8 cm x 6 cm) contribute to a better image of the pig and spread positive messages all around the world.

A Lil’ pOtbelly is a hand sculpted and -painted art piggy made of special clay (8 x 6 cm), looking out for a loving owner.
Each piglet is unique, has a number, a certificate of authenticity - adoption papers. The price for this collector’s item isn’t low because of the status Objet d’Art and the time consuming process of the making of one. There is a waiting list of four weeks, depending on request and offer, and the price is $ 200.00. But to make it a little bit affordable for a wider audience there are also Lil’ pOtbellies made from polyester, cheaper version in limited edition for the price of $ 75.00 each (extra costs for shipping, standard: $ 4,82, priority: $ 7,04).
