Materials and Types of Ceramic Egg Cups
Ceramic egg cups can vary greatly in expression and finish. Most are made of stoneware or porcelain, both durable ceramic materials suitable for daily use. Many cups are glazed, giving a shiny and durable surface, while others have a matte or partly raw finish for a more handmade look. At Dims Studio, you’ll find egg cups ranging from classic round shapes to figures like animals, flowers, or faces. Some models are hand-painted, making each cup unique. Others are cast with precise shapes to perfectly match each other on the table.
Sizes and Dimensions of Egg Cups
Most ceramic egg cups are 4-7 cm tall and 4-6 cm in diameter. This fits standard chicken eggs, both soft- and hard-boiled. Some models have a wide base or a small plate under the cup, measuring 8-10 cm in diameter – practical if you want space for a bit of salt or eggshells. You’ll also find egg cups with extra depth (up to 8 cm), which can be used for larger eggs or as mini bowls for snacks. Always check the measurements if you have eggs of a special size or want a specific look on the table.
