Harvey Nichols Eggs With Legs Duo
Description
Better than any bonnet, this pair of fabulous hand painted, individually decorated egg cups was created by the celebrated ceramic designer Mary Rose Young. Together, they make the ultimate breakfast accessory. 2022 brings two stunning new Eggs With Legs designs and colourways, both of which have been slipped into this sleek duo gift box. Eggs With Legs were created exclusively for Harvey Nichols; each extravagant egg cup comes topped with a foil-wrapped hollow chocolate egg. When you've devoured the chocolate, you will be left with a work of art that will ensure your boiled egg is always the best-dressed breakfast in town. Available in two styles; the Daisy Edition is playfully kitsch and features a daisy fastening on the zebra-striped shoe, while the joyful Buckle Edition has a slightly more bling buckle. Only 50 of Eggs With Legs Duo gift boxes haven been produced - making them rarer than Fabergé eggs - and no two sets are quite the same. Each egg cup, having been crafted and painted by hand, is completely unique. So, colours and patterns may vary slightly from those pictured. Born in Uxbridge, Mary Rose Young spent her childhood constantly on the move, nurturing in her a passion for painting and reimagining the interiors of each new house. Finally settling down, she studied ceramics at Wolverhampton Art College during the height of the punk revolution, something that clearly inspired her love of shocking colour and genre-redefining design. Her first pieces were sold at a Bristol street market in the early 1980s; she has now achieved worldwide fame with stockists from Canada to Ukraine. Mary Rose describes her style as "Alice in Wonderland", a concept that can be instantly understood by anyone who falls down the rabbit hole into her vibrant and flamboyant workshop in The Forest of Dean.
