About the Item

A charming pair of hand-turned pine egg cups, representative of French folk craftsmanship from the mid-20th century. Each piece displays a beautiful, naturally developed patina, and notably, the maker intentionally preserved sections of the original bark during the turning process, creating an appealing contrast between the smooth lathe-worked surfaces and the raw, organic texture of the wood. The forms are simple yet full of character, reflecting the authenticity of vernacular workmanship. These egg cups bring a discreet rustic elegance to a breakfast table and work equally well as decorative accents within a country-inspired or thoughtfully curated interior.
