Patrizia Egg Cup - Assorted Designs

The price is for one egg cup, sold in the carton quantity shown; it comes in three designs, shown together in the photographs, and the design you receive cannot be chosen. It is a small stoneware egg cup, 4.5cm across and 5cm tall, with a capacity of 50ml, so a boiled egg sits upright in its bowl with the top ready for the spoon. Each design pairs a glazed ground with a contrasting rim: one carries bold stripes, one a repeating diamond motif and one a scatter of small dots, so whichever arrives brings a multicoloured note to the breakfast table.

This is a cup for the breakfast table and the slow weekend brunch, where soft-boiled eggs and toast soldiers are the whole point. Because the design you receive is left to chance, it suits a kitchen that enjoys a friendly mix rather than a matched row, and a few of them on a tray look cheerful rather than uniform. It also makes a small, practical gift for anyone who still likes their egg served properly in a cup. Its compact size means it tucks into a cupboard or onto an open shelf without taking much room, ready whenever needed.

It is made of 100% stoneware and finished with a decal print, with the details painted by hand. Stoneware is a dense, hard-wearing ceramic that holds heat well, a good match for a freshly boiled egg. Care is simple: it can go in the dishwasher, and the maker lists it as suitable for the microwave and the oven too. It weighs just 0.06KG, so it is easy to pass round the table. For styling, line a few along an open shelf between cups and plates, or put one at each place on the breakfast table, where the stripes, diamonds and dots read as a deliberate, happy mix.
