MY ARTEFACT
My artefact is a set of wooden egg cups and cruet set.
Bought second hand and with no manufacturer’s marks, I think it may be mid-20th century in date.
I like the fact it`s origin is unknown. Whoever designed it created an artefact of simplicity, balance and utility. When you pick it up you know the manufacturer understood the ritual in boiling a perfect egg, whipping the top of the shell and the thrill of seeing a runny yolk as you drift in salt on the cavity, dippers at the ready.
The central handle is light, and just right. Pepper and salt are to hand – it is a triumph of a fit-for-purpose artefact, and one which retains a great aesthetic when not in use.
Like all good artefacts it feels great when you look at it, and gets even better when you use it, and provides food for thought as to its origin and creator!!
