This hand-painted ceramic "Egg Roller" represents the European folk tradition of the "Osterhase" active in the spring fields. Historically, the rolling motion symbolizes the moving of the stone, making these popular mid-century Easter gifts. It functions as a hinged keepsake box with a brass clasp—sized perfectly for a single heirloom ring or small treasure.
