Of all the unnecessary kitchen items, we can all manage to treat ourselves to some lovely egg cups. Compact and perfectly designed, they make traditional dippy eggs and soldiers just a little more refined. There are plenty of fabulous and fun pieces. Childhood egg cups are often kept into adulthood and handed down through the family as heirlooms. They have even become charming collector’s items, a practice called pocillovy.
Egg cups were first used in England during the 1600s when ruling classes enjoyed dipping their eggs from beautiful silver and the poor used wooden ones.
