A hand decorated slip-cast porcelain sculpture of a Pig, designed and made by Susan Parkinson at her potteries near Ashford, Kent, circa 1956. 

The petite pig, which could easily be mistaken for a guinea pig, is Model Number 78.

Even though the eyes of the sow are covered by its ears, the fluid and lively lines which render the snout, markings, and tail, convey a very joyful-looking pig.

The pig's tail is in the form of the letter 'S', which stands for 'Susan'. This is documented in Carol Cashmore & Tim Vincent-Smith's 2004 publication about Susan and her life & work.
