End of Day Glass Egg with Cross

Product Description

"End of day" glass is made by glassworkers, usually on their own time, at the end of the working day, and using up remaining chips of colored glass from previous projects. The workers would roll it over a heated metal plate, called a marver, and then blow the glass into shape. "Spatter" is another name for this type of glass.

Medium (standard) size egg is hand painted with three-bar Orthodox cross. A cap is attached at the top for hanging. Egg made in Moscow sometime in the middle of the last quarter of the 20th century. Comes with an egg stand. 1 only, as shown. (Note: egg looks much better in person - it's just hard to photograph correctly.)
