All the terramundi money pots are hand made in a small family run potter in Umbria, Italy and they are painted by hand in London.
The Story
These are original Etruscan money pots and they have been traditionally made and used in Italy for over 2000 years. Their hand thrown design has remained unchanged, examples of which can be seen in the British Museum.
Tradition
Once the first coin is dropped the money pot must be fed until full upon which it must be smashed whilst making a wish.
It is customary to replace the pot and to spend the money on good things. Broken pots can be used for plants and candles holders.We would recommend inserting a claw hammer into the money slot in order to break the top off the pot cleanly.
Money pots bring good fortune. There is a fortune coin inside each pot and a seperate date and desire card to insert when you begin saving.
Money pots can hold up to £200 in mixed silver or over £400 in gold coins..
Money Pots stand between 17 - 19cms in height
