Holiday in yellow and red Terramundi Money Pot

These Terracotta money pots are hand thrown in Italy and hand painted in London. They stand between 16cms and 19cms in height.

History: these money pots have been traditionally used in Italy for over 2000 years and their hand thrown designs have 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 time it must be smashed whilst making a wish. It is customary to replace the pot and spend the money on 'good things'. Money Pots are sometimes used to house a candle or a plant once smashed. They bring good fortune. There is a fortune card inside each money pot.

Colors may differ slightly.
