Egg to Ball Vase. Circa 1890. Large boxwood vase into which a wooden egg is set. The lid is replaced and then removed; when lifted, the egg has transformed into a solid black ball much larger than the egg. Height 8 ?". Spring plunger mechanism in lid. Restored by John Gaughan, who turned the wooden egg used in the effect. Rare.
