Tudor money box

The typical money box was a round, sealed, green-glazed pot with a vertical coin slot.

These sturdy, small pots were commonly used by Elizabethan theatres to collect ticket earnings.

[2] Individual pots were made by white-firing earthenware and then decorating each item with a coloured glaze, known as "Tudor Green".

[3] Tudor money boxes were used as small, inexpensive collecting and savings banks in Britain from the 1300s to the 1600s.

[4] They were in service during the Elizabethan era by London and surrounding area theatres to collect ticket money from customers.
