Etruscan Money Amphora
Terramundi money pots are hand thrown in Italy to a design which is over 2000 years old. The British Museum holds early examples of such "Etruscan Money Amphora".

A Great Gift
One of our best-selling lines, Terramundi earthenware money pots are really making a name for themselves across the UK. Suitable for young and old, they are hand-painted in London in dozens of great patterns and designs, and we are pleased to offer a wide selection, all at HUGE discount!!

What is a Terramundi?
There is no way to remove money from a Terramundi once you have put it in. By long tradition, a Terramundi money pot must be fed until it is full, at which time it must be smashed- releasing both your savings, and the fortune card which comes with every pot- whilst making a wish. A pot full of mixed silver can be expected to reward you with around £200.

It is then customary to replace the pot and spend the money on 'good things'. The broken pots can be used as holders for plants and candles, or even as a desk tidy. We would recommend inserting the 'claw' of a claw hammer into the money slot, and levering upwards, in order to break off the top of the pot cleanly.

Terramundi stand between 17cm and 19cm high.
