FAQs

How much money can the Pot of Dreams hold?

The Pot of Dreams can hold approximately £1000 when filled entirely with £2 coins. The actual amount can vary based on the mix of notes and coins used.

Can I get my money out without breaking the pot?

No, the unique 'save and smash' design means there is no stopper or hole for retrieval. The only way to access your savings is by breaking the ceramic pot.

What should I do before I break the pot?

Before breaking, ensure you have a safe and protected area. Lay down a thick towel or blanket to catch the pieces and protect your surfaces. Be aware of your surroundings and any people or pets nearby.

Is this pot reusable after breaking?

No, once the Pot of Dreams is broken to access the savings, it cannot be reused for saving.

What is the typical size of the 'Wedding Fund' pot?

The 'Wedding Fund' variant typically measures approximately 15 cm (H) x 12 cm (W) x 12 cm (D).

Can I use this pot for other savings goals?

While this specific pot is labelled 'Wedding Fund,' the 'save and smash' mechanism and design are suitable for any savings goal. Other Pot of Dreams variants are available for different purposes.

How should I clean the pot?

Wipe the pot with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials that could damage the hand-painted finish.

Troubleshooting

Slot feels tight when inserting money

Ensure you are using standard UK notes and coins. Fold notes neatly if necessary. The slot is designed to be snug to deter easy removal.

Pot arrived damaged

Please contact the retailer immediately if the pot is damaged upon arrival. Do not attempt to use it if broken.

Difficulty breaking the pot open

Ensure the pot is on a stable, protected surface. Use a firm, direct strike with a hammer. If it proves very difficult, consider a second strike with careful aim.
