Pig Figurines


PigsI am fond of pigs. Dogs look up to us. Cats look down on us. Pigs treat us as equals. – Sir Winston Churchill, Prime Minister of England

It all depends on how much bacon you want, what kind of pig you pick. Wild hogs range from the foot high, 13-pound pygmy hog, to the meatier Giant Forest Hog, 40 inches at the shoulder and a pudgy 300 lbs. Domestic hogs of course, are fattened for market, sometimes to extremes, like the gargantuan oinker that weighed 2500 lbs.

Pig Figurines

Pigs have a well-deserved reputation for eating almost anything, chiefly because in the wild, they would consume an eclectic range of materials, including baby birds, snails, fruits, tubers, roots, fungi, earthworms, reptiles, eggs, small rodents and carrion.

And they’ve been rooting out those yummies for around 45 million years, according to scientists. However, Man didn’t start bringing home the bacon, until around 4900B.C. in China, although there is some evidence of earlier domestication of pigs in Thailand.

With overland exploration, and sea travel, once explorers realized the world was not flat, the pig traveled back into Europe, where it became refined, and produced strains specifically for the purpose of providing meat. This little piggy came to America, from two directions. Polynesians paddled them over to Hawaii, circa 1000A.D. and the Spaniards dropped off a few in the Southeast, sometime in the 1500s.

The pig who doesn’t turn up as potluck, can live to 27 years, producing litters of anywhere from 2-12 piglets with a record of 27 in one litter. They are an even-toed, hoofed animal, with a hide that can be anything from nearly hairless, to slightly bristled, to curly-coated, like the Ecuador herd hog. Incidentally, pigs as a group are referred to as either a herd, or a sounder.

The pig has produced many a product that man has found useful, not the least of which, was its meat. But its hide is also famous for being the covering of the Super Bowl football. Except that it’s not. Pigskin, that is. But it was, at one time. Pigskin has a peculiar triangular pattern of depressions, due to the placement of hairs/bristles, which appears on both sides of the skin, even when the hair is removed. This provided an irregular surface that was excellent for gripping. One of the first “footballs”, which served for other sporting purposes as well, was a pig’s bladder. (Well, the pig wasn’t using it anymore.)

These days, pigs are hot commodities, and not just in the roast pan. Pig figurines became a part of the “country” decorating craze almost 20 years ago, and show no sign of falling out of favor.

Pigs appear as wallpaper, potholders, trivets, pin-up porkers on calendars, salt and pepper shakers, a dice game for children and adults, and much more. Wealthy is the man/woman with pig figurines on his/her shelf, for he/she has brought home the bacon.

Pig Pickings
  • Judy Garland’s very first movie, was the 1936 “Pigskin Parade”, in which Yale University accidentally invited a Texas college team to play them
  • Wall Street got its name from a barrier erected in the 17th century, to contain marauding pigs.
  • A crossbred hog named “Bud” went for $56,000 at a 1985 auction
  • The world’s largest “pig”, is likely the hot air balloon named “Ham-let”, which measures 100 ft. tall, 60 ft. wide, and 80 ft. long.
  • The late Jim Henson of Muppet fame, reportedly modeled his porcine princess Miss Piggy, on Loretta Swit, of M.A.S.H.
  • The expression “bringing home the bacon” applied to a time in England, when most families could not afford meat, so acquiring a ham, was a big occasion. It was hung from the rafters of the family living quarters, and thus someone had brought home the bacon. It was placed so that visitors could easily see the treasure, as an indication of the homeowner’s “wealth”. Since hams were fat, pieces were often carved off for eating, while everyone sat around the table, and “chewed the fat”.
