Théière à l'Œuf et au Serpent

Manufacture de Sèvres, 1833
Porcelaine dure
H. 19 ; L. 18 ; l. 10 cm
Don Jules Audéoud, 1885

Depuis le XVIIIe siècle, les théières, cafetières ou chocolatières, toutes destinées à contenir des boissons exotiques, étaient pour les artistes l’occasion de s’inspirer d’une nature étonnante et lointaine. Leurs becs verseurs prenaient la forme de gueules d’animaux, plus ou moins imaginaires, tels que chimères, griffons, lions, dauphins, etc.
Ici un serpent menaçant a redressé la tête et siffle de colère. Il s’est enroulé deux fois autour d’un œuf comme le font certains boas pour couver leur progéniture et la défendre face à un danger...
... ici l’animal, qui semble parfaitement contrôler la force qu’il exerce, dégage une impression de puissance contenue, et l’œuf n’en apparaît que plus fragile dans sa perfection plastique...
Créée à la Manufacture de Sèvres en 1805, cette théière a été fabriquée jusqu’en 1833 en très petites quantités; cet exemplaire fut acheté par le duc d’Orléans, fils du roi Louis-Philippe et grand collectionneur.

The Incredible Journey From Hen To Home

The Incredible Journey From Hen to Home
See the guide and activity sheets here

Welcome to The Incredible Journey from Hen to Home, an eggsciting integrated curriculum program for students in grades four, five and six.
...
For effectiveness, these meaningful, relevant lessons were suggested by educators to help you teach not only the basic skills of language arts, math, science, health, nutrition and consumer education, but also enrichment skills using logic puzzles, classroom cooking, economic decision-making and creativity. Providing that all-important “spice of life”, the lessons are not only varied in content but, in many cases, also integrate two or more disciplines. Throughout the unit, your students will be learning how to learn by comparing, contrasting, analyzing and evaluating.

We hope these eggsperiences captivate you and your students and help inspire the joy of learning.
Sincerely,
American Egg Board

Snow Ice Cairn

Constructed by placing beech and hazel autumn leaves onto a rounded river stone. Made in the village of Abbeystead in the Forest of Bowland near to Lancaster in the North West of England.

"I went back up to the place I made the other snow and ice sculptures in the afternoon and started to make the base of a cairn with ice. I didn't take a torch with me and I had to give up when it was too dark to see. I chopped some more ice before going home ready for the morning. I hoped that the base would freeze and be strong. I returned before dawn to finish it off but now the ice had frozen solid and I couldn't now dig any more out. How am I going to finish it now?! So instead I used frozen snow to build up the top which still lay on the grass around the ice. I didn't intend to build a cone cairn exactly like Andy Goldsworthy's but it just seemed to grow in that way. I can see why AG builds cones as it is a shape that just appears when you make it strong, a natural form that is inherent in the material. If you don't know what I mean you'll just have to build one!" From Escher.

Clougha Egg Cairn, Birk Bank, Clougha, near Lancaster, Lancashire, UK

"The cairn, by Richard 'Escher' Shilling, was constructed over three days in late October, using millstone grit from mine spoil in the immediate area. Stunning work – I hope it lasts!
Sadly, it won't. The Westminster Estate has instructed Escher to dismantle it and create no more artworks on their land (and the Duke is possibly the primary landowner in Northern England). I'm deeply disappointed."

Mommy Laid An Egg

In this hilarious twist on one of the most difficult discussions in a child's development, award winning author Babette Cole illustrates the one question all children are bound to ask: Where do babies come from?
