What a thrill to polish each one with a little squirts of furniture polish on a paper towel.
There are large sized eggs on a glass plate as well as small ones, also on a pretty glass plate.
I've heard these handpainted Polish eggs referred to as "pisanki."
My late Polish Grandmother would have loved this collection.
It is bright and cheerful.
Polish people traditionally decorate with eggs on Easter.
It has been said the eggs symbolize life and rebirth. Also, the return of spring in nature and the Resurrection of Jesus Christ.
In addition to Polish eggs in two sizes, there is a collection of Ukrainian eggs around here, too.
They were highlighted in a blog post that ran on March 14.
DO YOU HAVE DECORATIONS FOR EASTER SYMBOLIZING SOME ASPECT OF YOUR ANCESTRY?

Good morning Susan...Happy St. Patrick's day. Oh how I love these gorgeous eggs. One thing I will say about other Countries is that they put a lot of details into their art. Much different than the plastic eggs we offer here in the USA. These are much like collector eggs and what a great collection you have. Thank you for sharing them with us. They look like they could be wooden? Enjoy this wonderful day and wear Green.
Wow what beautiful eye catching colors! Love it. Great collection you have.
Beautiful collection.
So pretty! Great find from the storage unit!
