This embellished egg features a sweet assortment of darling pansies and violas, including varieties like Cool Wave Blueberry Swirl, Frizzle Sizzle Yellow Blue Swirl and two colours of Heartsease.

Shown in what might be more unexpected shades of its characteristic red-violet and purple, these enchanting blooms encircle a handpainted solid wood egg like ribbons around a Maypole.

The flowers have been carefully sculpted using the finest quality Japanese air dry clay, and are then handpainted individually using artist’s grade acrylic and gouache paints.

The scene is then created by arranging the clay components and bonding them one at a time to the egg.

The egg has been painted by hand in a gentle shade of grey with a hint of lavender (Dove Tale by Farrow and Ball). No detail being left unappreciated, the egg also features an extra special detail: a delicate layer of speckles are flecked about the egg’s painted shell, enhancing the realism and delight of this celebration of spring!

Egg has a flat bottom for ease of display. Also comes with a solid wood stand, stained and varnished in a rich shade of walnut and trimmed with gold foil paper embellishments from Germany. Sealed with an archival acrylic varnish.
