Why I love it

These two teacups come from the same bank as the My Melody money box already among my finds: the Taiyo Kobe Bank gave them to its customers in 1984, and the bank disappeared in 1990. Made of ceramic and never used, they show My Melody watering a little garden. Bank gifts turned collector's pieces: that is the whole charm of hunting in Japan. Before you fall for them, ask the seller about chips on the rim or the base.
