Nesting Egg Cup. Circa 1900. Remarkable turned set of lacquered wooden imitation eggs, eleven in all, which nest together and rest in an ebonized turned wooden egg cup. Remarkably tight tolerances, the largest egg diameter 1 ¾”, the smallest 5/16”. Generally very good condition.
Similar to a set of nesting Matryoshka dolls, but crafted with much tighter tolerances.
