I am not sure who the manufacturer was, but Williams-Sonoma rings no bells. This gadget started out yellow and went orange (I think), green and finally black to indicate various levels of hardness. The problem was, if you put them in cold water while they were still hot, they shattered. If I had read the fine print, I would have known to take them out of the pot before cooling eggs -- alas I did not.
