What is a Cat Egg Cup?
A cat egg cup is a small cup shaped like a cat, designed to hold a soft- or hard-boiled egg at the breakfast table. At Dims Studio, you’ll find a carefully selected range of ceramic cat egg cups where function and style go hand in hand. The collection is curated with a focus on craftsmanship, details, and quirky cat personalities that add an extra spark to breakfast.
Materials and Types
Most cat egg cups at Dims Studio are made of ceramic, often hand-painted to capture the cat’s character and fur patterns. The ceramic provides a sturdy and stable base for the egg, and the surface is easy to clean. Some models have a glossy finish, while others have a more matte surface. You’ll find both lifelike cats and more graphic, colorful interpretations, so there’s an option to match the egg cup to both classic and playful table settings.
Sizes and Dimensions
Cat egg cups typically stand 6-8 cm tall and have a diameter of 4-5 cm, fitting standard chicken eggs. Some models have a wider base for extra stability, while others have a narrower foot for a lighter look. Most egg cups hold one egg at a time, and their size makes them easy to place on both small and large breakfast tables.
