Materials and types of animal egg cups
Most animal egg cups at Dims Studio are made of ceramic, often stoneware or porcelain. The ceramic provides a sturdy and durable surface that can also capture fine details in the animals’ expressions. The surface is typically glazed, making it easy to clean and suitable for repeated use. You’ll find both classic smooth glazes and more rustic, hand-painted varieties. Some egg cups have extra details like painted eyes, fur, or feathers, making each piece unique.
Sizes and dimensions
A typical animal egg cup measures about 5-7 cm in height and 4-6 cm in diameter. It fits a standard chicken egg, but there are also versions with slightly larger or smaller inner openings. Some models, especially from Quail, have extra height due to the animal’s head or tail, so the total height can reach 8-10 cm. The weight usually ranges between 100-200 grams, providing good stability on the table.
