For preserving eggs, wax or grease is applied by hand. The grease used was a non-smelly (low volatile) petroleum lubricant. The coat should be near perfect as the shell is air permeable, and otherwise the egg inside will dry out. It was common to then individually wrap each egg in tissue paper.
An alternative was to immerse the eggs in a solution called water glass - sodium silicate.

How do you decorate eggs with a stained-glass effect?
There are two ways that pysanky artists achieve a stained-glass effect. One is to wax a white egg in the desired pattern, then apply dye to spots on the egg using either a paintbrush or some other application tool, such as a toothpick, a bamboo skewer, or a craft micro-applicator. The other method is to dye the egg black, wax the egg, bleach it back to white, and apply dye in the manner described above. A variation of this method is to dop the entire egg into the desired colors of dye (working from light to dark) and waxing over the areas to retain the dye color before each successive dye bath. I have found it to be quite difficult to apply black wax to a black egg when the black is the FIRST dye bath. This approach definitely requires the use of strong light and a magnifying glass! It is helpful to have white wax on hand for waxing dark coloured eggs. White wax can be made by simply adding a white crayon to your wax, then you will be able to see your lines.
