Fireworks Bank
The Etruscan Money Pot has been popular for over 2,000 years. You can fill the Fireworks bank with your extra change from time to time. Once it is filled tradition holds that you smash it while making a wish, then spend the money on good things. (I will be cheating here a little bit by putting an opening in the bottom of the bank, but you still could make the wish and break the bank.)
The banks are approximately 9-1/2" tall x 5" wide. They are made of high fire stoneware clay, have a milky white glaze, hand cut letters and Greenman, all hand painted. Made in USA by Claudia Wolter. USA Delivery only. 4-6 weeks delivery if not in stock.

Greenman Lantern
Now you too can have a part of history with your very own Greenman Lantern. The Greenman is known through out the European community as the man who leads the festival parades with his Roman candle torch, and the mascot of the PGII who opens the big Friday night fireworks show. Each lantern base and lid is thrown individually by hand on the wheel.
After the piece becomes leather dry, I sketch the Greenman and his torch on the base. He waits for you to give him life when you light the candle inside.
The lantern is made of raku clay covered with a shiny glaze that looks like glass. The colors run anywhere from a mix of greens, coppers, golds, blues and reds--no two pieces are alike. Now I have added a new "glow in the dark glaze that picks up the sunlight and emits light during the dark hours it will glow for up to 10 hours depends how intense the sunlight is during the day. The greenman will show up white during the day hours. Limited run of 100 pieces.
Each one will be numbered, dated and signed by hand. There is a 4 to 6 week delivery on the lanterns. You will be notified by mail as to when you can expect delivery. There is no guarantee of a special color. This would make a great gift for the special someone you love! Approx. 10" high, 4" dia. x 4"dia. Includes copper handle.
