Vintage Handmade Pottery Thatched Cottage Money Box

£20.00

The Story

Meticulously crafted in a charmingly naive and rustic style, this heavyweight pottery money box is shaped like a traditional English thatched cottage. It is a nostalgic and tactile piece that serves as both a sculptural ornament and a functional saver, featuring a removable wooden plug at the base for easy access to your savings.

The Details

  • Dimensions: ~9cm H x 11.5cm W

  • Material: Heavyweight handmade pottery with a wooden plug.

  • Era: Circa 1980s.

  • Condition: Immaculate condition throughout.

Why It’s Special

The "naive" styling of this piece gives it a one-of-a-kind, artisanal feel, typical of studio pottery from the late 20th century. Its warm tones and textured "thatch" roof make it a perfect fit for those who love the "Cottagecore" or traditional country house aesthetic.
