Historical information

An egg cup, or eggcup, is a piece of tableware specifically designed to hold a boiled egg in its shell. It typically features an upwardly concave portion to securely hold the egg and a flat-bottomed base. Egg cups can be made from various materials, including porcelain, glass, and metal. They are commonly used for serving soft-boiled eggs, making it easier to consume them without the shell shifting.
