Work by British ceramic artist Sarah Billingham Sheep egg cup (egg stand) Made in England Approximately 5.2cm in diameter, 6.2cm in height I've listed one more, thinking someone might want a pair. You can get 500 yen off if you buy them together. These ceramics were inspired by the animals seen in the rich natural countryside of England. They are made with white earthenware, using a natural off-white clay, resulting in a warm, creamy color. Unfortunately, this animal series is no longer being made except for special orders. These egg stands were not widely sold in Japan, so I think they are particularly difficult to obtain. Three tiny sheep are hand-painted on each. You might see a shadow on the rim, but upon touching it, it seems to be just a color difference, not a chip or scratch. I first encountered Sarah's work at a department store in Shibuya and fell in love with this sheep pattern and the robin pattern in particular, and I collected them afterwards. I still use the mugs, but I haven't had many opportunities to use the egg cups, so I've decided to sell some to those who are looking for them.
