Questions and answers

Frequently Asked Questions

Why did people traditionally give decorated eggs as gifts in spring?
Spring eggs served as symbols of life, health, and awakening nature. Giving a decorated egg to family members or neighbors was a traditional gesture to wish them prosperity for the coming year.
How were heart motifs painted onto eggs before modern dyes existed?
Artisans used liquid beeswax applied with a fine stylus to draw shapes directly onto the raw shell. When dipped in cold plant dyes, the waxed heart area repelled the liquid and remained the original shell color.
What gives natural eggshells their different base colors?
The breed of chicken determines the natural shell color, ranging from bright white and dark brown to light blue or olive green. The pigment is deposited on the shell during the final hours of egg formation.
