The terracotta piggy bank is the one that doesn't break until it's full. No little door, no lock: just a slot on top and four little legs underneath. To open it, you have to break it. As it should be.
 
Maurizio makes it by hand in Altomonte, with clay from his workshop. Every piggy is slightly different: the ears fold differently, the snout changes a little. That's not a flaw. It's the difference between a handmade object and a mass-produced one.
 
Give it to children, put it on the chest of drawers, or give it as a present. Or keep it for yourself, to collect your everyday small change until there's no more room.
 
A piggy bank that lasts. And breaks with satisfaction.
