Nut Bird Houses

by Jim Schatz with J Schatz Studio

The iconic first piece in J Schatz's Birds line — and the work that launched the studio. The Egg Bird Feeder takes the eternal egg form, hand-built in stoneware and finished in a glossy glaze that also keeps squirrels off. Bird food gravity-feeds from the egg into a custom spun aluminum dish below. Originally designed in 2004, named Product of the Year by Fortune that same year, and made by hand in the studio every year since.

The in-spot for birds. A stoneware feeding tube sheltered under a custom spun aluminum cover, with four feeding holes and four perches so birds can approach from every side. Built for wet climates — the aluminum roof keeps the birdseed dry. Originally designed in 2008 and made by hand in the studio every year since.

A bulb-shaped feeder with a bell opening below — at the center, a sun-yellow stamen as the hummingbird's point of contact. The form does the work plastic feeders never could. Originally designed in 2013 and made by hand in the studio every year since.
