It represented a great example of the master potter's work and would make a great celebratory piece for all of your patriotic holidays. It would make a great addition to any redware collection. Note that Mr. Breininger died in December 2011 and as such his pottery has become very desirable and sought-after. A nice and well made piece worthy of a spot in your collection of contemporary redware. Condition: The egg is in very good condition. It has no cracks, no repairs, no chips, no crazing to the glaze, and no hairlines. The egg does have a few of the usual defects you would expect with all these primitive redware pieces such as pops, slubs, unglazed areas and uneven spots. However, these are original to the making and are difficult to see but can be felt. Regardless this is a beautiful piece in excellent condition.
