Description
This is a small stoneware egg cup in green, made to hold one boiled egg upright at the breakfast table. The body is fluted with raised vertical ridges that run from the rim down to a narrow waist, and it sits on a short flared foot, giving it the shape of a little goblet. It stands 6cm tall and measures 4.5cm across, with a capacity of 28ml, which makes it a classic single egg cup rather than a bowl or a ramekin. It weighs 0.08KG and is small enough to sit beside a plate without crowding the table.
It belongs on the breakfast or brunch table, with a weekend boiled egg and toast soldiers, or at an Easter morning spread where every place gets its own cup. It is just as at home on a tray carried up for breakfast in bed. Away from eggs, the 28ml well is a handy size for a pinch of flaky salt, a spoonful of capers or a little jam beside a scone, and a row of them makes neat holders for butter or dips at a relaxed supper.
It is 100% stoneware, finished in a solid coloured glaze with a glossy surface that catches the light along every ridge, and the glaze gathers more deeply in the grooves, so the fluting reads clearly. Stoneware is a dense, hard fired clay that suits everyday tableware. Care is simple: it goes in the dishwasher, and it can also go in the microwave and the oven, so you can warm it through before breakfast if you like. We like it set on a plain plate with a spoon alongside, or lined up with a few others along a kitchen shelf between meals, where the green glaze and ridged profile hold their own.
