Description from the seller
Original set of six WMF egg cups, made in Cromargan, the stainless steel patented by the German manufacturer, appreciated for its corrosion resistance, sturdiness, and the surface’s brilliance.
The items stand out for their distinctive decorative shape: each egg cup consists of a central cylindrical housing designed to support a soft-boiled egg, integrated into a wide contoured base that recalls a hen.
The shiny steel surface creates evocative plays of reflections and highlights the sinuous forms, while the structure allows the spoon and fragments of the shell to rest comfortably during breakfast.
Particularly interesting is the possibility of stacking the egg cups, a practical solution that allows them to be stored taking up little space.
Dimensions: 3x13x8.5 cm
Seller's Story
My name is Riccardo. I recently graduated in Art History from the University of Florence and I am passionate about porcelain. From tableware to artistic vases, from figurines to tea and coffee sets, I am fascinated by the mastery and creativity of great artisans and designers who manage to shape this fragile material, transforming a rough mass into masterpieces with a story to tell. During my years at university I began to become interested in the history of nineteenth- and twentieth-century tableware; today, every day, I deal with prestigious porcelain pieces that always have something to say to me and to those who purchase them. I love that every day I can discover more about the objects I find while traveling around Italy, always learning something new. I always try to convey to my clients this passion I have for the objects I sell, certain that each of them has a story to tell: that of the creator, that of the one who preserved it, and that of the person who will give it a new life.
