my egg & soldiers kit by takae mizutani from uk
designer's own words:
I always thought soldiers are not looked after. Eggs have various choices of cups, but what about poor soldiers? Don't you think it's not really fair that soldiers often have to lie down on a plate? They look sad and already lost before battling with an egg.
Good soldiers need royal horses and a tasty egg needs to be in a humble castle. I just provided something where they should be and I think they look much happier and more comfortable in them.
The items are made out of fine earthenware or porcelain and manufactured by slip casting technique. The items can be produced with two/three parts moulds. The horses’ eyes, the gap between the horses’ legs, opening to hold the toast and entrance to the castle are marked on the moulds and finalised later stage by hand.
