Yes, we use large and extra large hens' eggs.
Every egg has one hole out of which the yolk and white have been drained.
Yes, they are real eggshells and are therefore fragile, and just like an object made of glass or clay need to be handled with care. However, they are sturdier than fresh or hardcooked eggs, because they no longer have a heavy interior. The eggshells have been covered with a satin polyurethane coat to protect the decoration from damage and to give the eggshell a slight shine. The eggs shown in the pictures on the product pages are representative samples of the eggs we create. The availability of a certain leaf depends on the time of year.
