"The tradition of making an Easter scoop in Opole Silesia has its documented pedigree and is derived from the early 13th century. However, it is widespread throughout Central and Eastern Europe. Archaeological findings in Opole Ostrówek indicate even the tenth century. Easter egg in Opole Silesia in its present form spread in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. They were first of all decorated with the batik method, it is an egg painted with hot wax and then dyed. This method is still widely used in the vicinity of Tułowice and Korfantowa. However, a typical Silesian leaflet is a product from the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries. The dyed egg is decorated with the engraving method (scratched), decorated with traditional floral ornaments: palm trees, flowers, leaves, whose patterns are also often found in embroidered tablecloths, curtains, decorative bedding (kapach), costumes and folk painting. The variety of patterns that are applied to the surface of the brochures depends on the artistic creativity of the creator himself. In the mid-twentieth century large clear patterns were scraped on the eggs. In the eighties, the large pattern is more and more filled, supplemented with small additions. Patterns from this period are considered by most creators to be the traditional pattern of Opole kroszonki.Shades of brown dominate the color (staining with onion shells).
