Terramundi money pots have been traditionally used in Italy for over 2000 years, and their hand thrown design has remained unchanged. You can even see ancient examples of these pots at The British Museum.
Once the first coin is dropped the money pot must be fed until full, upon which time it must be smashed whilst you make a wish. It is customary to replace the pot and spend the money saved on 'good things', they bring good fortune.
Money pots are sometimes used to house a candle or plant once smashed. The best way to break your money pot is to use 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!
They are painted in various designs and we're sure to have something to suit every occasion!
