Description
Willa is a pair of stoneware egg cups for anyone who thinks a boiled egg deserves its own seat at breakfast. Each cup stands on a small round foot, rises to a gently wavy rim and is brushed with broad vertical stripes, so the pair looks painted by hand rather than factory-neat. They are 5cm across and 5cm tall, with a 40ml cup that holds an egg upright and steady. The set is multicoloured: both cups share the same shape and striped pattern, but each has its own stripe colour and a different glaze inside, so they read as a pair without being identical.
Set them out on the breakfast table on a weekday morning, or bring them out for a slow weekend brunch with toast soldiers and a pot of coffee. They suit a family kitchen, a small flat where two egg cups are all you need, or an overnight guest who deserves a proper boiled egg in the morning. Because there are two, they are easy to share between a couple, and because each cup is different, nobody mixes up whose egg is whose. The multicoloured stripes sit happily beside plain plates and look just as much at home among patterned tableware.
The cups are made entirely of stoneware, and stoneware is a dense, hard-wearing ceramic that holds heat well. Part of each cup is decorated by hand, which is why the stripes carry visible brushstrokes and a slightly softer edge than a printed pattern would give. Looking after them is simple: they go in the dishwasher, the microwave and the oven, so they can go straight from the breakfast table to the dishwasher with everything else. For a relaxed morning table, set the pair side by side on a woven placemat, with an egg spoon laid in front, so the two stripe colours sit next to each other.
