Description
Quail Ceramics designs their animal collection in England, where each piece is individually hand-painted in stoneware. Barney sits on his hind legs with a calm cat expression and bears fur pattern, whiskers and eyes applied by brush — small variations from piece to piece are part of the signature. A British classic for collectors of figurative ceramics.

Care and Maintenance
Dishwasher safe, but hand washing is recommended to preserve the hand-painted finish as long as possible. Avoid hard knocks against edges.
FAQ
Are Quail egg cups food safe?
Yes, the Barney egg cup from Quail is made from food safe stoneware and can be safely used for soft-boiled eggs every morning.
What is the difference between Quail egg cups and ordinary ceramic egg cups?
Quail hand-paints each egg cup individually in England, giving small natural variations in fur pattern and expression. Ordinary ceramic egg cups are typically machine-applied and uniform.
Can Quail egg cups go in the dishwasher?
Yes, Barney is dishwasher safe. To best preserve the hand-painted finish over time, gentle hand washing is recommended.
Is the Barney cat egg cup a good hostess gift for a cat lover?
Yes, it is a suitable small gift for cat lovers, egg cup collectors or as a hostess gift for a breakfast enthusiast. It is nicely presented as a figurine and works both for eggs and as decoration.
Is every Barney egg cup the same?
No, each one is hand-painted, so fur pattern, facial expression and colour nuances vary slightly from piece to piece. That is part of the charm of Quail's handmade series.

Handmade & unique product
Most of my products are handmade or hand-painted. This means that there may be variations in color, finish, and minor imperfections. These variations are a natural part of the handmade look and make each product unique. Minor differences are therefore not considered defects.
