This is an enameled art egg: beautiful shades of pink and green enameling, with twisted gold braiding. Artist is Nicki Yassaman from 2003. It is 7" tall with holder, the egg is 3 1/2" tall by 2 1/4" wide. I am listing several eggs this week. The lady I purchased everything from had lots of individual standalone pieces she purchased from antique stores, but she also had a home kiln that she made items with and then got together with friends and painted the pieces. Please check out my store for other beautiful items to decorate your home. Thanks!
