The Rare Allyson Nagel Studio Porcelain Egg Collection is a limited edition set of 11/750, each signed by the artist. These beautifully crafted porcelain eggs come in their original boxes, making them perfect for collectors and enthusiasts of decorative figurines. The intricate design and high-quality material of these eggs make them a unique and elegant addition to any collection.
Allyson Nagel is famous for utilizing recycled, authentic egg cartons, wooden crates, and commercial poultry boxes directly from farms to pack and ship her anthropomorphic egg creations.
Because her artwork centers completely around the theme of eggs and "Humpty Dumpty" figures, she intentionally collected real-world poultry and farm boxes to use as her studio shipping containers. Writing the limited edition fraction (11/750) and signing her "AN" monogram onto a rustic, utilitarian poultry box was her signature, tongue-in-cheek way of presenting a "fresh batch" of eggs from her studio.
The picture on box. This label provides a fascinating, highly accurate piece of history that perfectly connects the dots to the artist:
• The Geographic Link: Allyson Nagel’s original studio was based in Michigan during the 1980s and 1990s before she later relocated. Ada Valley Meat Co. is a real, historic food service distributor operating right out of western Michigan.
• The Studio Reality: This proves without a doubt that the box is a genuine piece of studio history. Rather than ordering expensive custom cardboard boxes, she grabbed a sturdy, discarded local cookie dough box from her Michigan studio area to pack up, sign, and hand-number this specific batch (11/750) of raw porcelain components.
