The art of collecting Egg Cups RSS

I frequently get asked about (then teased about) my hobby of collecting egg cups.  Egg Cups, for those that don't know, are small cups that hold soft boiled eggs.  The egg sits in the cup and the top of the egg is cut off so that an egg spoon can be used to get to the soft cooked egg inside.  In England people cut strips of toast, called 'soldiers' to dip into the egg yolk.

Some of the egg cups and rings are works of art.  Egg cups have been around for many years, I have one from the late 1700s.  The collecting of Egg Cups is called Pocillovy (yes it has a name).  Check out my collection online!
