If you were rich enough - the pig would live in your house, and in fact, the Chinese character for home is made up of the symbols for "roof" and "pig" thus the legend that a pig under the roof equals happiness for the home. These porcelain smiling pigs will be resting happily on a red pillow (red is also an auspicious color in China). Each pig is almost 7" long and weighs about 2.5 lbs.
