Søholm Great Statesmen Golda Meir money bank no. 7, 1985

Søholm Great Statesmen Golda Meir money bank no. 7 from 1985 is a characterful ceramic figure that combines portrait art, humor and collector interest in one and the same object. The figure is designed as a bust with coin slot in the back of the head and thus combines the classic portrait with the function of a money bank in a way that makes it both decorative and remarkable.

The motif depicts Golda Meir with a calm, serious facial expression and clearly modeled facial features. The hair is gathered at the nape of the neck, and on the base stands the original inscription "Golda Meir 1898 - 1978". This gives the figure a clear identity and makes it particularly interesting for collectors of political figures, historical money banks and ceramics from Søholm. The light, matte surface emphasizes the sculptural character of the bust and highlights the modeled details in both face, hair and attire.

As part of the Great Statesmen series, this Søholm money bank has a special place in Danish design and collector culture. Here we are dealing with a figure with both narrative and function, which appeals to those who are fond of political history, characterful ceramic figures and unusual collectibles. It works beautifully as a display object on the shelf, on the desk or in the display cabinet, where it adds personality and a touch of cultural history to the home.

Older ceramic figures like this have a quality and soul that make them worth preserving and continuing to use. A vintage ceramic money bank is at the same time a sustainable choice, because it is allowed to live on in a new home instead of being replaced by new production. This makes it ideal as a gift for the collector, the history enthusiast or for you, who appreciate applied art with character and history.
