Handpainted Easter Eggs from Poland

After three years in storage, the colorful Polish Easter eggs accumulated one-by-one throughout the years, have finally been found and unpacked.

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.

You can see the Ukrainian eggs by scrolling down from today's post.
