This rare antique yellow ware pottery bank from 1840s England features a rustic Georgian-style bank building with a Rockingham brown glazed roof. The small size of the bank ( 3” High) makes it a nice addition to any collection of Staffordshire area folk pottery or money boxes. It was made by an anonymous potter in England around the 1840s. It is a crude little child’s toy. It always amazes me that any of these folk pottery banks survive, since most would have been broken open to obtain the pennies.
