"Baba Yaga" Porcelain Folklore Egg
Our Folklore collection of porcelain eggs draws inspiration from Pysanky, a Ukrainian tradition of egg decorating that originated in Pagan times. Handcrafted in fine porcelain and painted in rich cranberry red, each egg showcases a scene from a beloved story alongside traditional Pysanky motifs.
The Baba Yaga egg features Baba Yaga’s mystical hut surrounded by a border of pine branches, symbolizing longevity and resilience. Moving outward, chickens and bone piles add a touch of intrigue and imagination to the narrative. While animals typically appeared in stylized forms in Pysanky, birds often took center stage in profile. The outermost border around this egg is adorned with ladders, a symbol of ascension and transition to another realm. Traditionally associated with Pysanky intended for the elderly, these ladders evoke a sense of journey and transformation, further enriching the narrative woven into this piece.
Measuring approximately 2.5 inches long, this hand-painted porcelain egg is a celebration of folklore and tradition. Whether displayed proudly on a mantelpiece, nestled in a decorative bowl, or given as a cherished gift, these eggs serve as a conversation starter inviting you to explore their rich tapestry of stories and symbols and return to the magic and wonder of timeless tales.
