FAQs

During the Edwardian period, formal breakfast services featured specialised silverware, including individual egg cups designed for soft-boiled eggs. Sterling silver egg cups functioned as status symbols on affluent dining tables, often featuring intricate pierced work and gilt interiors to prevent sulphur corrosion from egg yolks.

Antique silver egg cups were crafted from sterling silver, comprising 92.5 percent pure silver alloyed with copper for structural durability. Many examples featured openwork or pierced lattice designs, turned pedestal bases, and a gold-plated wash applied to the interior to protect the silver metal from food contact.

Authentic British Edwardian silver is identified by full official hallmarks, including the lion passant for sterling purity, a city assay mark such as the leopards head for London, a specific date letter, and a makers mark. The physical style often displays delicate pierced motifs, swags, or classical revival forms standard between 1901 and 1910.

An antique silver egg cup can be incorporated into modern decor as a refined accent piece on a sideboard, dresser, or open kitchen shelving. It can also function as an individual container for small trinkets, sea salt, or miniature floral arrangements on a table setting.

Maintain sterling silver by polishing gently with a soft cotton cloth and a specialised non-abrasive silver polish, taking care to protect delicate interior gilt linings. Store silver items in dry conditions or felt-lined cabinets away from direct humidity to prevent oxidisation.
