Message:: [QUOTE="SBSVC, post: 1638533, member: 136"]While unpacking some stored "stuff" this afternoon, I came across a small cloisonne jar (see my new post about it in Metalware...) Packed safely INSIDE that jar was a real egg I have had since the 1960's. We had a thread about Pysanky in April 2017, and I mentioned it there:<a href="https://www.antiquers.com/threads/ukrainian-pysanky.17397/" class="internalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.antiquers.com/threads/ukrainian-pysanky.17397/">https://www.antiquers.com/threads/ukrainian-pysanky.17397/</a> This was my post: I LOVE those eggs! I have only ONE, but I've had it since 1968! (I'd post a photo, but it's packed away with lots of other "precious" things in the attic...) What I remember most about it is that you can hear the "mummified" (wrong word?) egg yolk rolling around inside! It wasn't always like that, but it happened over the course of the years. Natasha, perhaps you know this: How do they keep the egg from rotting inside and exploding, over time? (I once tried to keep a little bird egg I'd found on the ground, and it did indeed explode eventually, causing a terrible mess - and stench!) Unfortunately, I didn't have the egg easily accessible to show at that time. I was actually saddened when told that what I'd mentioned about the yolk still being inside the egg pretty much wasn't "the way it's done." Well, I now have the egg right here(!) and I can verify that 1) there is a hard ball rolling around inside it, and 2) there is no hole on either end, and no wax to cover such a hole. Any thoughts?
