Description
This stoneware egg cup is 5cm across and 6.5cm tall, made to hold a single boiled egg upright at the breakfast table. It stands on a short, flared foot that gives it a steady base, and the cup widens gently towards a softly rounded rim. The whole piece is finished in a grey reactive glaze that breaks into streaks and fine speckles, gathering more densely near the rim and the foot and thinning out through the middle. It weighs 0.12KG, a small and solid piece that sits comfortably beside a plate.
It belongs on the breakfast or brunch table, whether that means a quick soft-boiled egg with toast soldiers before work or a slower weekend spread for family and guests. The maker lists it as food safe, so the egg sits directly in the glazed stoneware. The grey glaze settles easily into a kitchen of stoneware plates, wooden boards and linen napkins, and it works as well on an Easter breakfast table as on an everyday tray carried back to bed. Lay one at each place when friends stay over, or keep a few on hand for a household that sits down to breakfast at the same time.
It is made from 100% stoneware and finished with a reactive glaze. A reactive glaze moves and pools as it fires, so each cup carries its own pattern of streaks and speckles. Care is straightforward: it is dishwasher safe, so it goes in with the rest of the breakfast things, and the maker also lists it as microwave safe and oven safe. For styling, set it on a small side plate with a teaspoon and a pinch of salt beside it, or keep it on an open shelf between meals, where the grey glaze looks good against pale wood.
