What is an Egg Cup?
An egg cup is a small container used to serve soft-boiled or hard-boiled eggs at the table. At Dims Studio, you’ll find egg cups in a wide range of shapes, colors, and materials – always with a playful and curated look that makes breakfast a bit more fun.
Materials and Types of Egg Cups
Dims Studio focuses on ceramic egg cups, but you’ll also find versions in porcelain and stoneware. The most popular are hand-painted ceramic cups, often featuring animal motifs or imaginative figures. Porcelain offers a more classic look, while stoneware often has a rustic surface. Some egg cups come glazed in bright colors, others are matte or have textured finishes. Whatever the material, all egg cups are selected with quality and originality in mind.
Sizes and Dimensions
Egg cups are typically small – most measure between 4 and 7 cm in height and have a diameter of 4-5 cm, fitting standard chicken eggs (approx. 4-5 cm in diameter). Some models have extra-wide bowls that can hold larger eggs or be used for small snacks. There are also double-ended egg cups, with one side for small eggs and the other for larger ones. Note that handmade egg cups may vary slightly in size, but most fit standard eggs.
Brand Stories and Designers Behind the Egg Cups
Dims Studio gathers egg cups from carefully selected brands where quality and whimsy go hand in hand. Quail Ceramics is known for their hand-painted animal egg shells – everything from cats and dogs to exotic birds. Rice brings color and humor to the table with their lively designs. &Klevering from Amsterdam combines classic shapes with a modern twist, and Bongusta plays with colors and shapes in their ceramic collections. Anna+Nina and Bloomingville contribute both quirky and poetic egg cups, while Kersten and Doing Goods focus on detail and craftsmanship. The selection reflects Dinna from Dims Studio’s eye for the playful and original.
