The baby of the trug family, the Egg Trug is ideally proportioned for the storage and display of eggs and other kitchen table ingredients, such as crab apples, whole chestnuts, or small citrus fruits. Understated and elegantly minimalist, the Egg Trug works equally well as a standalone accent piece in any area of the home, from the windowsill to the back porch.

Handcrafted using traditional steam bending methods and inspired by boat-building techniques local to Crisp’s workshop and home in rural east England, the trug features an overlapping construction akin to the clinker hulls of Fenland boats. Its strong yet light structure incorporates copper nail and rove fixings as a further nod to boat building traditions, and whether nesting one inside another like matryoshka dolls or displayed as a solitary sculptural piece, the trug will sway and rock, boat-like, as it catches the wind. Fashioned from carefully sourced wood varieties that change with each new season, the trug is finished in a natural wax oil.
