Eggshell mosaic box, 'Crackle Blossoms' Home Decor Home Accessories Decorative Boxes 
A graceful, rounded box and lid,
hewn from mango wood, is adorned with eggshells in a
bold floral pattern. The delicate crackle finish of the eggshell
mosaic contrasts richly with the jet black lacquer of the
background and interior. The result is a unique place for
your cherished keepsakes, handcrafted by Subin Tositarat, using traditional Thai
techniques. Carved by hand from mango wood, the frame
receives up to twenty coats of lacquer, with drying periods
in between each coat. Next, eggshells are cracked into small
pieces and arranged in the desired mosaic design. A coat
of lacquer is applied to the piece and the shells
placed onto this fresh coat. The piece is then lacquered
twice more and, once dry, it is sanded in water
until the eggshells slowly appear.
