Terramundi Money Pots
Our money
pots have been traditionally used in Italy for over 2000 years and their hand
thrown design has remained unchanged. The British Museum houses examples of
these ancient money pots.
Once the first coin is dropped the money pot must be fed until full upon which
time it must be smashed whilst making a wish. It is customary to replace the
pot and spend the money on 'good things', they bring good fortune.
Money pots are sometimes used to house a candle or a plant once smashed. The best way to break your money pot is to get a chisel or the back of a hammer and place it inside the money slot - slowly lever the top and you should be able to pop the top off - you can now use the money pots to house a plant, sweets or pens.
Terramundi money pots are hand thrown in Italy and hand painted in London. They stand between 17cms and 19cms in height.
Each money pot contains a separate fortune card.
Money pots hold approximately £200 in mixed silver and £400 in gold coins.
