嬰戲圖 - Baby play picture
千山 - Qianshan (Signature on the right bottom)
Paintings display children`s play called "Baby play pictures" have become a common decorative pattern on porcelains, jade carvings, embroideries, eggshells etc. since Tang Dynasty times. It was very popular during the Qing Dynasty.

Thanks you so much for the response ! So this is a replica of an egg from the Qing dynasty ? There is no way an egg survived so many years since then...are there any eggs from that period existing ??
Thanks !

It is not a replica of any picture, but the style itself. These eggshell paintings are made even in these
days in China.
The lacquered egg-holder doesn`t look brand new.
Could be a half-a-century old.
With regards,
