About the Item

This sculpture, in the form of a silver electroplated egg with a white porcelain holder, represents esteemed Swiss artist Herbert Distel's most iconic form. He created a 22-ton egg during this same period, which he installed on the road between Chiasso and Basel in Switzerland. The simple ovular form, roughly the size of a duck egg, is a stunning art object that would be a whimsical touch to a breakfast table, living room side table or etagere. American, circa 1965 Dimensions: 7.5" H x 3" D.
