Egg-stra Special Majolica

In previous posts we've already taken a look at majolica egg cups and egg baskets but what about eggs themselves? Not a particularly common motif in majolica, eggs have still appeared in various motifs in the majolica body as everything from spoon warmers to pitchers to humidors.

Let's celebrate the Easter/Passover season with a look at eggs in majolica.
