EASTER EGG
Language on the frot
An Easter egg and puzzle shaped like an egg with the possibility to make an infinite number of chickens, only the imagination sets the limits to the many funny chicks which can be cracked out from the pieces of the egg. The egg can also be used as an easter gift and greeting to someone you hold dear and you wish to surprise with a creative, artistic and fun gift.
In Denmark we have a tradition of sending an easter letter to our dear ones, we write it as a riddle with the letters of our name written with dots. The receiver has to guess who the sender is. This kind of letter is called a "Gækkebrev". We love this charming tradition and with the possibility of getting a customized greeting engraved on the egg our aim is to keep this tradition alive in a new, fun and artistic way.
If you want to send the egg as a gift with an easter greeting you simply write the text you want in the customization field. We will engrave your greeting on the back of the egg and send it to the person you want to surprise with an artistic and creative gift, which we guarentee that you will be remembered for.
The Easter egg is handmade from sustainable materials at our workshop in Copenhagen. We mix the colors ourselves, which results in some beautiful shades of blue that always vary slightly from egg to egg. This makes the game more unique and can almost be considered a small work of art in itself
DIMENSIONS: 18 x 14 cm.

HANDMADE IN DENMARK

In Denmark we have a tradition of sending Easter greetings as a riddle and a poem where we wrire our names with dots at the end of the letter. The idea is, that the receiver has to guess, who the sender is.
We love this charming tradition!
Here is an example of a famous Dansih riddle and a poem used as a Easter greeting:
" En vintergæk
en sommernar,
en fugl foruden vinger,
en lille ven,
som har dig kær,
en kærlig hilsen bringer...
Mit navn det står med prikker pas på det ikke stikker..."
Which, translated into English goes something like this:
"A snowman
a summer fool,
a bird without wings,
a little friend who loves you
a loving greeting brings....
My name is written with dots, can you guess who who I am? "
Many people use the occasion to make their own greetings and riddles.
Write your greeting in the ENGRAVING field and we will engrave it on he Egg for you.
WE ARE TOUCHED AND PROUD TO SEE THAT MANY OF OUR ARTWORKS & DESIGN OBJECTS HAVE BECOME GIFTS WHICH PEOPLE ALL OVER EUROPE HAVE GIVEN AND RECIEVED.
