Description
This is a stoneware egg cup in purple, with fluted sides above a narrow waist and a flared foot. It stands 6cm tall and measures 4.5cm across, with a capacity of 28ml, a classic egg cup size that holds one boiled egg upright, ready for the top to come off. The body is 100% stoneware, finished in a solid coloured glaze with a soft sheen, and the whole piece weighs 0.08KG, so it sits light in the hand while the flared foot gives it a broad base to stand on.
It belongs on the breakfast table, whether that is a quick weekday egg before work or a slow weekend brunch with toast soldiers. It is food safe, so the egg sits straight in it, and its compact footprint leaves room on a side plate for a spoon and a slice of toast. It suits anyone who likes their boiled egg served properly rather than balanced in a ramekin, and it makes a thoughtful small gift for Easter morning, a housewarming or a friend who never skips breakfast.
The maker lists it as dishwasher safe, microwave safe and oven safe, so it goes straight into the dishwasher after breakfast and can be warmed in the oven or microwave before the egg goes in. Stoneware holds heat well, and it is a dense, hard-wearing material that suits daily use. The solid coloured glaze carries a gentle speckle and slight shifts of tone along the ribs, with a fine line at the rim that catches the light. We would keep one at each place for a weekend breakfast and stand it on a side plate, so the spoon and the cracked shell have somewhere tidy to go.
