MANUFACTURING
This product is a hand-manufactured object. Each piece is unique. It may vary slightly in colour, the nish and shape from one item to another. This is the guarantee of a true hand made object.
EGGSHELL LACQUER
The eggshell lacquer used for the ELLA BOX is a precious and delicate finish. In order to obtain the fine white cracked effect, real duck egg shells are used. They are washed and cleaned, baked to extract all dampness and then broken up in small pieces. They are then sieved to select fragments of the same size. Each fragment is delicately laid, with the help of tweezers, on a fresh coat of lacquer to form a mosaic or to create the required pattern. It is sanded down and lacquered with 18 to 21 coats of clear lacquer to obtain a perfect smooth surface. Depending on the desired finish, the lacquers are clear, amber or black. For darker coloured egg shell, it is obtained through the roasting of the shells to create subtle shades of browns.

THE TWO-TONE COLOUR LACQUER
The two-tone colour effect on this ELLA BOX is obtained through the superposition of hand applied different coloured lacquers, which are sanded between each coat. A minimum of 18 coats of lacquer are required to reach the required effect. This gives depth to the polished surface, where the different layers come through.
