Antique Crystal bowl with Handmade Wooden Eggs

My mother had brought these eggs to the states back in 1993 when she
visiting Poland. She brought back the crystal bowls, along with a countless
number of crystal bowls, vases, and candle holders. The eggs represent the
symbol of life. The eggs are handmade and painted by the craftsmen of the
Tatra Mountains. These eggs and bowls just remind me of all the history that
was involved with them. The Lead Crystal is very difficult to find to the states
unless you find them at an antique dealer. This item features for me how my
ancestors believed that the life is similar to these eggs. You may be able to find
the eggs anywhere, but it doesnt portray history. The eggs are kept in larger
lead crystal bowl and are placed for everyone to see. It holds us and keeps us
who we are. Even though these little eggs may not be much to others, they
hold a place for my ancestors and what it represents.
