The wood egg stand measures 2.125 inches tall by 1.75 inches in diameter on the top. This solid hardwood egg stand is made by turning hardwood on a lathe, followed by a vigorous sanding to obtain a smooth finish. Whether you use the wooden egg holder at the breakfast table to hold a boiled egg or use the wood egg cup to display hand painted wooden eggs, you can use the same paint. We recommend using DecoArt Gloss Acrylic Paints because of their durability.
