About the Item

This mid-to-late 20th-century American copper pig weathervane is full of charm and character, with a strong, graphic silhouette that captures the essence of this beloved barnyard icon. The pig’s profile features a pronounced snout, upright ears, and all four legs clearly defined, while an applied corkscrew copper tubing tail adds a playful, sculptural detail. The surface is coated in a striking verdigris finish, with drips and variations that suggest either decades of weathering or an intentionally aged patina—either way, the effect is beautifully atmospheric. Mounted on a custom steel stand, this piece can be displayed on any flat surface, indoors or out, no roof required. It’s an unexpected and whimsical addition to a console table, bookshelf, or mantel, offering a dash of Americana with a slightly surreal twist. Equal parts folk art and functional object, it’s a conversation starter that doesn’t take itself too seriously.
