Description
Our Latina egg cup is a small stoneware cup raised on a short flared foot, with fine vertical fluting running from the rim down to the stem. It stands 6cm tall and measures 4.5cm across, with a capacity of 28ml, which is the right scale for holding a single boiled egg upright so you can slice off the top and go straight in with a spoon. The beige glaze covers it inside and out, and the fluting catches the light in soft bands as you turn it on the table. At 0.08KG it is light in the hand and easy to pass around.
This is a breakfast table piece first: a soft-boiled egg with toast soldiers, a long weekend brunch, or a tray carried up on a slow Sunday morning. Stoneware holds heat well, and a cup like this keeps the egg upright while you butter your toast. Give one to each person at the table, or keep a few in the cupboard ready for guests. The fluted shape and quiet beige glaze sit happily beside patterned tableware, woven placemats or plain linen, so it fits a country kitchen as easily as a pared-back dining room.
It is made entirely of stoneware and finished in a solid coloured glaze, which makes it an easy piece to live with every day. It goes in the dishwasher, so there is no fiddly hand washing after breakfast, and it can also go in the microwave and the oven. Stoneware is a dense, hard-wearing material that suits daily use. The styling props shown are not included. For styling, set it on a side plate with a spoon tucked alongside, or line several down the middle of a brunch table for a relaxed, generous look.
