Carl Auböck Lucky Pig Keyring
The Carl Auböck Lucky Pig Keyring is a small solid brass pig, smooth and pleasantly heavy in the pocket. In much of Europe the pig is a good-luck charm, and the Auböck workshop has shaped it in the same plain, rounded way as its other brass pieces.
The brass darkens and warms as you carry it. The second photo shows one after a couple of years of daily use. It measures 3 x 1.9 x 1 cm. Each pig is cast and finished by hand in the workshop in Vienna, so small marks and slight differences from one to the next are part of how they are made.
Why we love it
" My Mother gave me my love of beautifully-made small objects (we share a fascination with and love of miniatures), but also my love of whimsy. When I first encountered this keyring in Vienna a number of years ago, I had to have it, and now I get to carry them at Laywine's! They are delightful, have a wonderful history, and I know that my mother would appreciate its beauty -- in fact she often asks about the success of the Lucky Pig Keyring."
