Two Ceramic VW Campervan Moneyboxes
This lot comprises two glazed ceramic moneyboxes modelled on the classic Volkswagen Type 2 campervan, a vehicle long admired for its distinctive rounded front, split windscreen and two-tone bodywork. The smaller example is finished in red and white, with a surfboard fixed to the roof and “SURF” lettered on the front panel, along with painted windows, headlights and a stylised peace-sign emblem. The larger example is presented in blue and white, with a pale blue raised roof section, a Volkswagen-style badge to the nose, a yellow rear plate and a series of painted windows along the flank. Both pieces feature a coin slot in the roof, making them both decorative and practical for collecting loose change.
Condition and Collector Appeal
Both moneyboxes show clean, glossy glazing with the painted details well defined in the photograph, and no obvious chips or cracks are visible from the angles shown. As with all ceramic items, buyers are encouraged to examine the pieces carefully before bidding, as the images are the only guide to their current state and any further condition questions should be raised before the sale. Their bold colourways and recognisable campervan styling make them appealing to Volkswagen enthusiasts, campervan lovers and collectors of novelty savings banks, and they would also sit well as a pair on a shelf or in a child’s bedroom.
