This set of eight Arts and Crafts egg cups originates from 1890 and is made by Picards. Each piece combines a pierced copper sleeve with geometric cut-outs over a French white ceramic liner, finished with a brass stemmed pedestal base. The metalwork displays a warm copper tone contrasting against the crisp white porcelain interior. Individual cups measure 7 cm high, 5 cm wide, and 5 cm deep. Suitable for display on a rustic farmhouse sideboard top, these decorative tableware items bring period character to a modern dining table or display cabinet. They function practically for serving soft-boiled eggs during breakfast while adding a handcrafted aesthetic to traditional or eclectic kitchen spaces.

FAQs

Arts and Crafts movement tableware emphasizes hand-crafted techniques, functional forms, and visible decorative details such as hand-piercing, chasing, and honest joinery, emerging in late 19th-century Britain as a response to industrial mass production.

Antique egg cups were commonly constructed from metals such as copper, brass, silver plate, or pewter, often fitted with ceramic or porcelain liners to protect the metal from sulfur exposure and heat.

Authentic period metalware can be identified by maker stamps or maker marks, evidence of hand-punched or pierced decoration, age-appropriate patination, and hand-finished joins rather than uniform modern machine moulding.

Antique copper egg cups can be styled as a complete set on open kitchen shelving, arranged along a sideboard top, or repurposed as small salt cellars and trinket holders in a dining setting.

Ceramic liners should be hand-washed using warm water and mild soap, while the external metal holders should be gently dusted or wiped with a dry soft cloth to preserve the historical patina.
