Good Luck Pig: Chanchito

May the pig of good fortune smile on you! This delightful terracotta pig is made with clay dug from the mountainside near the village of Pomaire, Chile. Traditionally used to create earthenware cookware fired over an open flame, here the clay is transformed into a chanchito — a little three-legged pig given to friends as a token of love and good fortune. Lucky pigs are smaller than they appear, fitting in the palm of your hand.
