Eggshell Vase by Marcel Wanders

Marcel Wanders
Eggshell Vase, 1997

To create the bulb-shaped vase, Wanders stuffed a latex condom with hard-boiled eggs and then cast the resulting shape in white porcelain. He imbued the traditional medium with humour and an organic sensibility not normally associated with it.

The Eggshell Vase is a part of the Victoria and Albert Museum collection.
