I am a Tilted Bank. You save, I get to eat. Sounds like a win-win situation to me!

Curator's Notes

We love a product with an afterlife! To get your money out, this bank must be cracked in the traditional piggy-bank style by breaking the porcelain. Fortunately, all is not lost after you’ve spent those pennies! You can break the porcelain in a way that allows the bottom portion to be used as a planter afterwards.

Tilted Bank was curated by Angélique Chmielewski
