Story
Eggs, moulded in porcelain
The Egg Vase dates from 1997. Marcel Wanders had the idea of designing a porcelain accessory in the shape of a pile of eggs. The idea was to boil a bunch of eggs, insert them in rubber condoms for protection and mould the porcelain around them, giving a bizarre, soft, resistant egg vase.
