Description
This silverplated money box takes the shape of Winnie the Pooh himself, standing upright with his paws resting on his round tummy, his little top and his rounded ears all picked out in the shine. The figure has a real silverplated finish, bright and mirror-like, so it catches the light from every angle. It stands 14.5cm tall, 7cm wide and 7cm deep, a size that sits comfortably on a nursery shelf or windowsill without crowding it. At the back, a coin slot sits neatly across the top of his head, ready for the first pennies and pounds, and a sculpted tree stump sits at the base behind him.
We see it as a keepsake for a little one, chosen with babies and toddlers up to three years old in mind. It suits a nursery, a child's bedroom or a family bookcase, where the bear can keep watch over savings that grow along with them. Pooh is a character many grown-ups loved as children themselves, which makes this the kind of gift that is kept long after the coins have been counted. It is a piece for display and for saving rather than a toy, so it is best placed on a shelf out of reach of small hands.
The silverplating covers the whole figure, from the tips of his ears down to the base, so every curve of his top and tummy shows in the reflection. To keep it bright, dust it with a soft dry cloth and avoid abrasive cleaners, which can wear a plated surface; a silver cloth now and then brings back its gleam. Because it stands on its own base, it needs no wall or fixing. Wrap it with a first coin tucked inside and a card for the parents, and it becomes the start of a saving habit as well as a lovely piece for the room.
