Celebrate the joy of Easter with this charming Vintage Set of 3 cardboard and decoupage eggs, crafted in West Germany. These delightful eggs serve a dual purpose, functioning both as candy containers and as holders for small, light gifts. Adorned with enchanting lithograph scenes of chicks and other forest creatures in different scenes, the largest egg captures the essence of springtime with several chicks moving furniture from a snail-pulled wagon into a cottage, accompanied by a ladybug and frog celebrating, and a bunny looking on. The second smallest egg features a water scene with chicks on a sailboat with colourful Easter eggs; colourful eggs also adorn the shore with a snail. Meanwhile, the smallest egg features chicks with colourful eggs in a garden.
Open these eggs to reveal a delightful surprise inside – a pink toile-like pattern with the inscription "Container made In Western Germany" in the smaller eggs, while the larger egg is adorned with a green floral pattern with "Made in Germany." All eggs have age wear with some small pieces of paper lifting around the opening, from being opened and closed over the years.
