We have been eagerly waiting for some new products to arrive. Finally they are now HERE! After a lot of requests, we have decided to offer you some Terramundi pots. Yes! Those 'smash'ing pots are now in stock!!!
These 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.
We have selected a range of different designs and colours for you to choose from. They are available in our Filoro brick and motar shop - click here for more information and now they are available online as well.
