Terramundi Money Pot
1 x S36 Cream with New Home written in Gold 17 - 19 cm Tall (approx)
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 are sometimes used for plants and candles. 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.
All the terramundi money pots are hand made in a small family run potter in Umbria, Italy and are then painted by hand in London.
