Mid Century Japanese Watermelon Money Bank
Some objects are collected for their rarity. Others earn their place simply because they make you smile.
Hand-painted in the unmistakable form of a watermelon slice, this mid-century Japanese money bank has all the charm of everyday design done well. The simple graphic colours, gently curved silhouette and scalloped coin slot turn a practical household object into something quietly sculptural.
Time has softened the paint and left small knocks and losses around the edges, giving it the kind of honest wear that only decades of use can produce. It's cheerful without feeling novelty, and sits just as comfortably on a bookshelf as it would have on a kitchen shelf waiting for spare change.
A reminder that good design doesn't always take itself too seriously.
