This award winning egg cup is made up of two parts which fit together to form a whole. Once the two parts have been separated, they can contain 1 or 2 eggs and the design of the interior provides three housings to offer a safe hold for different sized eggs.
This design is inspired by a stormy day at the shore and handmade from glazed stoneware resulting in a unique rustic feel.
Designed by North London-based ceramicist Emma Lacey and hand-thrown in the UK using a fine stoneware clay, the egg cup is subtly dented while the clay is still soft, lending the piece an ergonomic feature that makes them easy and enjoyable to hold.
Hand made, painted and fired in West Yorkshire, these charming egg cups can also be used as salt and pepper pots, candle holders and more.
Eva Trio Legio Nova is a reinterpretation of the classic Eva Trio Legio porcelain tableware designed by Ole Palsby. The all-in-one design has space for salt, pepper, egg shells, a teaspoon and maybe even a soldier or two.
