Money box
Money box probably made by Thomas Arthur Jenkins II, Ewenny Pottery, 1859.
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.
Globular, probably formerly with hen on top (now missing), and 3 birds (one surviving); crude deeply cut sgraffito of leaf & stem designs.
