Research based Coil Pot

 This coil pot based off of Guatemalan pottery. A common design on Guatemalan pots is flowers. This is usually the emphasis point and the background of these types of pots are often simple colors so the flowers stand out.

One day, a little boy was given a piggy bank after losing a tooth. This was to collect all the quarters he lost from losing teeth. Since the piggy bank was left for him by the tooth fairy, it was magical. This piggy bank could speak for one hour every time the boy dropped a quarter the tooth fairy gave him in. He told the boy his name was Porkie, and they became best friends. Porkie spent time with the boy and the rest of the toys by playing games, watching movies, and reading. They all became best friends. Eventually, the boy lost his last tooth and had no more magic quarters to drop in. He was very upset and soon forgot about Porkie. Years later, as the boy packed for college, he accidentally knocked Porkie off the abandoned shelf he had been on and as he watched him fall and break across the floor, he remembered all the good times they had together.
