Description
Our Eviaya egg cups come as a set of three small stoneware cups. Each stands on a flared foot and has its own hand-painted pattern. One has a bold scrolling motif with small dots, one has large round spots over a solid painted ground, and the third has fine vertical stripes under a painted rim. Each cup is 4.5cm across and 5cm tall and holds 30ml, the right size to keep a boiled egg upright so you can slice the top off cleanly. Together they are multicoloured and cheerful, and no two look alike.
They belong on the breakfast table first: a soft-boiled egg with toast soldiers on a busy weekday, or a slower weekend brunch with family or friends. Because each pattern is different, three cups let everyone pick their own, and the mix sits happily beside plain plates or other patterned tableware. They suit an Easter breakfast or a kitchen with a relaxed, colourful feel, and they make a thoughtful small gift for anyone who enjoys a proper boiled egg in the morning. Away from breakfast, a single cup makes a tidy little holder for rings and earrings on a dressing table or bedside table.
The cups are made from 100% stoneware, and stoneware is a dense, hard-wearing ceramic that copes well with everyday use. The decoration is painted by hand, so expect the small irregularities of a brush rather than printed precision; that is part of the appeal. They go in the dishwasher, so clearing up after breakfast is easy, and they can also go in the microwave and the oven. For a relaxed table, put one at each place on a side plate with a small spoon, and let the three patterns mix rather than trying to match them to the rest of your tableware.

Frequently Asked
What size are the egg cups?
Each cup is 4.5cm across and 5cm tall and holds 30ml. That is sized to keep a boiled egg upright while you eat.
Can the egg cups go in the dishwasher?
Yes. The cups go in the dishwasher, and the maker also lists them as fine for the microwave and the oven.
What are the egg cups made from?
They are made from 100% stoneware with hand-painted decoration, so each cup carries the small variations that come from a brush.
How many egg cups do I get, and do they match?
You receive three egg cups. Each has a different hand-painted pattern: a scrolling motif with dots, large round spots, and fine vertical stripes.
Can I use them for anything other than eggs?
Yes. A single cup makes a neat little holder for rings and earrings on a dressing table, or a small pot for salt at the table.
