Know before you buy
Yes, the egg cup is crafted from high-quality, lead-free pewter that is FDA-approved for food contact, ensuring it is safe for daily use.
Hand wash the egg cup with mild soap and warm water, then dry it immediately with a soft cloth to prevent water spots. Avoid using the dishwasher, as the harsh detergents and high heat can damage the metal.
Pewter is a living metal that naturally oxidizes over time, resulting in a deeper, more muted finish. This gradual change is considered a hallmark of high-quality pewter and adds character to the piece.
The pedestal design is sized to securely hold standard large eggs. While it offers a stable base, jumbo eggs may sit slightly higher in the cup than standard ones.
Yes, the cup is designed with a weighted, substantial feel that provides excellent stability. It is balanced to prevent tipping during use.
