Gallinera Ceramic Egg Holder

Our Ceramic Egg Holder is made the western highlands of Veracruz. It carries some smoke spots from the pit firing process which gives it it's distinct character. Your eggs need not be refrigerated. Save a tiny bit of carbon by keeping them cool and fresh on the kitchen counter in a supremely stylish, traditional way.

Rituality, Beauty and Permanence

Our partner, Casa de la Cruz, works hand in hand with artisans in the creation of objects that reflect the cultural diversity of Veracruz. The initiative was born in response to the need to reactivate artisanal production in the communities, to generate productive supply chains, as well as preserving and disseminating the cultural and artisanal heritage of Veracruz.

Casa de la Cruz collaborates with artisans from more than 20 communities located from the coast to the mountains; creators whose expertise, life stories, commitment, and dedication, place them as bearers of a cultural tradition, a resistance front against the disappearance of this legacy.

Our Casa de la Cruz collection is the result of traditional artisan techniques, from the use of materials obtained in a responsible way, ensuring their permanence for the future, to the contemporary design processes and horizontal collaboration based on respect and dialogue. Authentic objects, made in an ethical and sustainable way, taking as inspiration beauty, traditions, stories, and the natural and cultural heritage of Veracruz.
