TERRAMUNDI MONEY POTS - B89 - Blue/Pale Blue Marbled

LIMITED EDITION!

This money pot is one of the very original designs from Terramundi in the UK. This pot is one of a kind as Terramundi are no longer in production.  There is only one available so once sold, it will never be available again!

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

History:

The Terramundi is an ‘Etruscan Money Amphora’.  These money pots have been traditionally used in Italy for over 2000 years and 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 spend the money on good things. Broken pots are sometimes used to house plants and candles. Money pots bring good fortune and there is a separate fortune coin inside each pot.
