A Copeland Majolica plovers` egg holder late 19th century, modelled with eight circular hollows lined with moulded fern, a lapwing perched on a grassy stump in the centre, impressed mark, 22cm high. A delicacy of English dining, plovers` eggs (laid by the Northern Lapwing, or Green Plover) were traditionally eaten around Easter but were in such high demand during the Victorian era that it began to lead to the bird`s demise. The Lapwing Act of 1926 made the collection of plovers` eggs illegal, which continues to this day.
