My unintentional egg cup collection

I seem to be accumulating egg cups. We always had a plain white set of six egg cups that go with our every day plain white crockery, long before we had chickens.

My youngest son and his girlfriend bought me an egg cup with a little blue chicken on it and a chocolate egg in it, for Easter, last year. It’s a perfect size for my banty eggs.

My neighbours bought me a pair of egg cups back from their holiday in Mallorca last summer as a thank you for the eggs I give them.

My husband gave me a chicken shaped egg cup among a few chicken based gifts for Christmas this year.

We have been collecting vintage tea sets for our afternoon teas as part of our catering business and a recent set had an egg cup in it. As we don’t need the egg cup for the teas I claimed it.

Finally yesterday I succumbed and bought one myself. I was browsing in an antique shop when I found this cute little double egg cup with a chicken and a chick on it. It was only five pounds so I couldn’t resist.

So there we have it. My unintentional egg cup collection.
