Description
Quail Ceramics designs in the United Kingdom and hand-paints each egg cup in stoneware, so spots and facial features vary from piece to piece. The giraffe's body serves as a base for the soft-boiled egg, while the long slender neck makes the figure a small sculpture on the table. A colourful detail in the English tradition of figurative ceramics for the breakfast table.

Care and Maintenance
Dishwasher safe, but hand washing extends the hand-painted finish. Small colour variations between pieces are part of the craft.
FAQ
What is the difference between Quail and other figurative egg cups?
Quail Ceramics is a British ceramics brand founded in 1997, known for hand-painted animal figures in stoneware. Each figure is painted individually, creating small variations — unlike mass-produced egg cups with printed decoration.
Can Quail egg cups go in the dishwasher?
Yes, it is food safe and dishwasher safe. Gentle hand washing is recommended, however, to preserve the hand-painted finish for as long as possible.
What can you use an egg cup for besides eggs?
It works as a holder for cocktail sticks, small snacks like olives or nuts, a single flower, or as storage for rings and jewellery in the bathroom.
Is the Quail giraffe egg cup a good christening or birthday gift for children?
Yes, it is a popular christening and birthday gift for children because the giraffe motif is playful and the stoneware holds up to daily use at the breakfast table for many years.
Does the Quail giraffe go together with other Quail animals?
Yes, Quail Ceramics makes a whole series of hand-painted animal figures — elephant, zebra, lion and more — that work as a collection on the table or in the windowsill.

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.
