Description
This silver-plated money box takes the shape of a teddy bear lying back in the curve of a crescent moon, one arm draped over its edge and his feet raised towards the upper tip. Little stars are picked out across the moon, and the whole piece has a bright, mirror-like silver finish that catches the light from every side. It stands 13cm tall, 12cm across and 7.5cm deep, a size that sits comfortably on a shelf without taking it over.
It is a cheerful piece for a bookshelf, a chest of drawers, a bedside table or a windowsill, where the polished surface brightens a corner and the moon and stars lend it a gentle, sleepy charm. It does a proper job as a money box too: coins drop through the slot in the bear's back, which turns saving towards a treat into a small, satisfying habit. The back is as neatly finished as the front, so it can sit in the middle of a shelf as happily as against a wall. We think it makes a lovely gift, useful and decorative at once, and the kind of piece that tends to be kept long after the coins have been spent.
Getting the savings out is simple: a round stopper on the underside turns to open and close, marked OPEN and CLOSE with arrows to show the way, so there is nothing to break to reach the coins. The underside sits flat, so the money box stands steadily on its own. To keep the silver plate looking its best, dust it with a soft dry cloth and avoid abrasive cleaners, which can wear a plated surface; a silver polishing cloth used gently will bring back the shine if it dulls. Set it where it will catch the light, or wrap it in tissue for a gift that feels special from the moment it is opened.
