Alessi 90045 Egg glass

The 90045 egg cup belongs to the Bauhaus Archiv series that forms part of the Officina Alessi catalogue. Alberto Alessi decided to include designs created in the studios of the famous German school, not least because of its character as a 'laboratory of applied art', a place where respect for art and the desire to create unusual, beautiful objects determines the style of work - a model to which Alessi's Italian 'Dream Factory' also aspires.
The designer Marianne Brandt was the only woman to work in the Bauhaus metal workshops. Initially coolly received by her co-workers (in the 1920s even artists found it hard to accept that a woman was doing 'male' work) she was charged with the least interesting commissions. However, the products she designed and produced quickly earned her the recognition and respect of her co-workers.
The egg set presented here is a complete tableware that allows you to eat a natural delicacy comfortably and elegantly. The simple glass with a cylindrical form is accompanied by a saucer on which to place the shells left over after peeling the egg and to rest the spoon. The set also includes a semicircular dome to facilitate placing eggs inside the glass or to cover a warm egg.
Contrary to the product photo, the set includes only one egg glass.
