Egg Glass Fishing Float

Small egg-shaped fishing float bound into a worked net

Knobbed egg float

Glass fishing floats are hollow glass shapes that fishermen used to attach to their lines or their nets to hold the sides of the net, the headline, or the mouth of a trawl net up toward the surface of the water.

Egg-shaped floats are considered to be one of the oldest forms of floats.

The knobbed eggs were formed using a blowing pipe, punty and pincers, much rarer to find. Their knobs or neck would have been perfect for tying to a hand-held fishing line or attaching to the line from a fishing pole.

Luigi Serafini

Luigi Serafini is an italian artist whose works all tend to be unusual. He has had works presented
in several exhibitions, whitch works include paintings, sculpture and curious objects like this ceramic.

L. Serafini wrote and illustrated the famous Codex Seraphinianus during the late 1970's.
The Codex is a lavishly produced book that purports to be an encyclopedia for an imaginary world in a parallel universe, with copious comments in an incomprehensible language. It is written in a florid script, entirely invented and completely illegible, and illustrated with watercolor paintings.

The Codex is divided into a number of sections (each with its own table of contents, the page numbers are in base-21 or base-22!) on subjects such as plants, animals, inhabitants, machines, clothing, architecture, numbers, cards, chemical analyses, labyrinth, Babel, foods... There are panoramic scenes of incomprehensible festivals, and diagrams of plumbing!

The Codex is to that imaginary world what Diderot's Encyclopedia is to ours. Obviously, Serafini was not just attempting to create a consistent alternate world. Rather, the Codex is sort of an elaborate parody of the real world.

The Codex Seraphinianus is a real exciting and amazing book !

Verse of Qu'ran on an Egg

Egg shape Verse of Qu'ran

Ovos criativos

À croquer

Modelés à la main, quatre petits lapins, en pâte d'amande, sortent ébahis d'une boîte à œufs comme du chapeau d'un magicien.

Œufs à malice

Échappés des tiroirs, rubans, timbres, boutons de nacre, tampons ou papiers anciens découpés et collés jouent la carte du charme et le tour est joué.



1. Trompe-l'œil

Ces mini-vases, en boîtes d'œufs peintes en violet et surmontés d'une coquille vide comme des coquetiers, ont beaucoup d'allure.
2. Sablés glacés
Des œufs de petites et grandes tailles, au décor graphique travaillé en glaçage, sont découpés à l'emporte-pièce.
4. Candide
Celui-ci ne fait pas l'autruche même s'il en la taille! Le glaçage recouvre la pâte sablée et réserve de fameuses surprises fleuries.

Place gardée

Une simple étiquette est revêtue d'un morceau de tissu collé. Un poisson en papier au nom de l'invité et une portée donnent le ton de l'invitation.
