Know before you buy
No, this piece is not dishwasher safe. To preserve the ceramic finish and the delicate handmade details, we recommend hand washing it gently with mild soap.
This egg cup is not suitable for use in the microwave or the oven. It is intended for serving purposes rather than heating or cooking.
Because each piece is individually crafted in Portugal, you should expect slight variations in the finish and details. These unique characteristics are part of the artisanal quality and ensure that no two pieces are exactly alike.
No, the design is not stackable. Due to the sculptural chick and eggshell shape, each cup should be stored individually on a shelf or in a cabinet.
The egg cup measures 2.4 inches by 3.5 inches by 2.3 inches, making it a compact and charming addition to your breakfast table.
