TERRAMUNDI MONEY POTS

History –
Terramnudi 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.

Tradition –
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.
