Money box
Money box inscribed IR 1819. Probably made by John Richards, Ewenny Pottery.
Ewenny in the Vale of Glamorgan has a long tradition of making pottery. All the materials were at hand - red clay, glaze materials to finish the wares, stone to build the kilns and coal to fire the pots. There have been 15 potteries in the area at one time or another. Now there are only two. One family, the Jenkinses, has carried on the tradition for over 8 generations.
Money box in the shape of a hen, with slots in neck, back, tail & base. Partial white slip, with yellow glaze over sgraffito design of stars, plants & hop flower decorated with stabbing.
