Looking for someone to make terra cotta eggs


Recommended Posts

I'm looking for someone who can fabricate terra cotta eggs preferably in the southwest. I live between Phoenix and Tucson. I need the eggs for mixing liquids and I have some tests I need to run so I'll need a few versions of them. Sizes will very and shape (whether the small end of the egg is "up" or "down"). I'd like to start with 3 ft tall and move up if all goes well. I've seen pictures of eggs (amphoras) in europe which are 12 ft tall, maybe more.

 

Since I have no skills in clay fabrication I'm not sure the limits in design/construction....that's why I need your help. If anyone can do them or knows someone who might be able to, I'd love to hear from you.

 

Thanks Durkee

You are in luck as the rare Terra cotta bird nests just east of Tuscan. If I recall one can gather the eggs at night under the Giant Saguaros mid summer.

PS I may have mixed up my facts on this ?

Now I recall you can dive for these in The Mediterranean permits may be needed or get then while night diving-getting them home may be problematic.
