Featured interesting old ? pottery money jar ?

hi guys

found this interesting looking jar today, quite like it

can only guess its a money jar

cant find one like it

hoping its got some age, not sure what all the iconography is supposed to be

measures 8 inches

any thoughts appreciated

 

looks like the glaze of majolica

 

interesting thanks antidiem, i sort of thought so too

 

If that is a smash bank my money would be safe. I just couldn't, it's too pretty. Reminds me of the caterina style but yours is much prettier.

 

HAHAHA.....WHATEVER the bank, we kids used to stick a table knife blade or the widest part of a nail file in the bank, turn it upside down and slide out whatever change that was in there out that we needed!!!! Sneaky 'lil brats we were....bet y'all did the same thing!!!!!

BTW, PRETTY jar/bank!!!!

 

Thanks ulilwitch, I did wonder if that was the case,

Whoever had it all these years, must have decided that too !

 

Absolutely !!, always a table knife for me

 

Love it. Looks like whieldon glaze, perhaps antique Staffordshire. Wait for the more knowledgeable potties.

 

Cheers houseful, very helpful, will look into that

 

Nice find. Maybe the sun motif represents saving for a Summer holiday.

 

The colours and glaze look right for creamware pottery after a quick search

I'd be mightily impressed if mine was 18th century, hopefully someone can tell

 

Now I wonder if a certain piece of pottery I have could be this also, thanks @Houseful

 

It is gorgeous, Charlie. It looks antique to my lay eyes, and I sincerely hope it is that old.
I think @Ownedbybear will know. (obb, I have been tagging you a lot lately.)

 

thanks Aj

yeah that would be something indeed, i was kinda hoping for 19th, but 18th would be ok too
