NEW POTS NOW IN ALL Terramundi money pots just £14.95!
Terramundi 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 pot to house a plant, store sweets or as a pen pot.

How The Pots Are Made All the pots are hand made in Italy and then shipped to the UK in their rough and original state ready to be painted and varnished in the beautiful array of designs which can be seen on our site. To start with each pot is sanded to leave a smooth finish to the Terracotta, and then they are washed and left to dry. Each pot is hand painted and where several different layers of colour are used each layer is applied and then left over night before applying the next coat. Once the final coat of paint is dry a layer of varnish is applied to give the final finishing touch! Every Terramundi is supplied with a "Fortune Coin" and a leaflet explaining the full history of the pot.
