Italian Ceramic Piggy Bank of Angelic Boy Figure from book "The Littlest Angel"

From the iconic book "The Littlest Angel" is this hand painted piggy bank figurine of the main character (1942). The pictures show the light reflection which look like white lines - these look like chips but they are the light reflecting (!!). Ceramic figural bank is shaped like the little boy. Coin slot on top of head and plastic stopper on bottom which is signed "Italy". Very good condition. Pls note: the bottom of the ring on the boy's foot has some yellow paint missing - see pictures. Thank you!
