History:
This is an original 'Etruscan Money Amphora' - these money pots have been used in Italy for the last 2000 years and their hand thrown design has remained the same. Examples can be seen in the British Museum.
Tradition:
Once the first coin is dropped the money pot must be fed until full, then smashed whilst making a wish! It is customary to replace pot and to spend money on good things. Pots bring fortune. There is a fortune coin in each pot and a separate date and desire card to insert when you begin saving.
A smashed Terramundi money pot can even be used as a plant pot or candle holder. Terramundi money pots are a great unique gift that can be used in numerous ways.
