Egg cup made of earthenware from Italian Fratelli Colì. This cleverly designed egg cup is perfect for serving boiled eggs and also provides a practical space for both eggshells and condiments like salt or caviar. With its rustic charm, it fits just as well at breakfast as it does for more special meals, making it both a functional and decorative addition to the table.
Each egg cup is handcrafted with great care and coated with a durable glaze that withstands daily use. The hand-painted surface gives each cup a unique character, with subtle variations in color and texture. Small imperfections and beauty marks are part of the traditional craftsmanship, giving the egg cup a charming and timeless quality—perfect for adding that extra touch to your table setting.
Stella, which means "star" in Italian, refers to the hand-painted, distinctive patterns of small blue stars/flowers, framed by two thin blue lines. These details give the robust ceramics a rustic feel, immediately evoking images of an Italian family dinner among olive groves and lemon trees.
The lines are painted by placing the ceramics on a rotating wheel controlled by a foot pedal. Delicate brush strokes create the fine lines as the wheel rotates. Each blue star is applied with a small stamp, resulting in subtle variations. Each product is unique, with brush strokes adding a personal touch and creating variations in the design.
The ceramics are made of majolica, a durable earthenware that is dishwasher-safe. However, to preserve the original finish and extend the product's lifespan, hand washing is recommended.
