Hera’s garden belongs to the collection Kyanomorpha of painted eggs. This hand painted goose egg depicts palm trees and flowers on Greek vases.
Kyanomorpha is a series of painted eggs with two dominating colours, as the name suggests: kyano (blue) and white. The technique is similar to pâte-sur-pâte of the porcelain decoration. A short film was created during the process. Watch how these hand-painted eggshells were made: “Creating Forms”.
