Hand-Painted Ceramic Egg Holder

Azul Patagonia’s keen eye for detail results in pieces that have days of craft and care behind them, just like this egg holder. Handmade from the founder's Argentinian studio in Villa La Angostura, it features subtle grooves that offer space for six eggs. Note the finer details too, like the hand-painted detailing and the helpful handle.

Founder of Azul Patagonia, Lucía Boglioli, developed a love for art while growing up in Rosario. Each year, she’d visit festivals with her grandmother and find herself captivated by a man with his lathe. Years later – after training as an accountant – she took the plunge to swap her profession for pottery and moved to Villa La Angostura. Today, she specialises in nature-inspired ceramics with processes that respect her materials. She builds her shapes, hand-paints them with pre-prepared engobes and uses thesgraffitotechnique to generate texture. Once dry, she’ll bake, apply enamel and return them to the oven. The process takes several days, proving that she has the art of patience down to a T.
