According to written records, this egg cup from the Heinrich Angst Collection, "HA 4036", was donated to the Swiss National Museum in Zurich in 1903. The records also note that Angst attributed the piece to the Lenzburg manufactory. As this attribution proved untenable, the egg cup was "exchanged" with Peter Ducret in 2002.
