Thirteen blown eggs on clear plastic stands, arranged in descending order of size. The eggs are not glued to the stands. One each: Ostrich, Emu, Rhea, African Goose, Large White Pekin Duck, Small Rouen Duck (or Mallard), Chicken (brown, cream, or white), Ringneck Pheasant, Chukar Partridge, Pharaoh Quail, Bobwhite Quail, Button Quail, and Finch. Also included are bookmark-sized cards showing a picture of the bird that laid the egg and information about it. This array is a beautiful collection of natural art, many produced by our own birds. I created the cards using my photographs of the actual birds that laid the eggs, and using photos I purchased.
The eggs are blown with a single hole on the bottom end, some of the smallest eggs may have a tiny hole top and bottom.
Measurements of the eggs are listed below. The set is shipped in a sturdy box with protective foam and bubblewrap, designed to be permanent storage for the eggs when not on display.
