Description
Easter morning in a Normandy orchard: dew on the grass, apple blossom drifting like confetti, and a basket of painted eggs hidden under the hedgerows. Little Margot found the last one tucked beneath a rhubarb leaf, and she squealed so loudly that the hens scattered across the yard. It was turquoise, with a pink flower and a ladybug, and she declared it the most beautiful egg in all of France.
This porcelain egg holds that same springtime magic. Its turquoise shell is bright as a robin’s egg, and a raised pink blossom blooms across the top, so you can run a fingertip over its petals. A butterfly hovers nearby while a ladybug, that age-old messenger of good luck, rests on the design. Set it among daffodils on an Easter table, on a windowsill beside a sprouting pot of herbs, or in a curio cabinet with other painted eggs. It is a cheerful gift for a gardener, a new mother in April or a friend who could use a little luck.
