Description
Quail Ceramics designs their hand-painted ceramics in England, where each piece has been painted individually to the same tradition since 1998. The cat motif wraps around the cup with visible brushstrokes, ears that stand proud and small colour variations that reveal the human hand behind each piece. A playful collector’s ceramic that elevates the soft-boiled egg from routine to ritual.

Care and Maintenance
Dishwasher safe, though hand-washing is recommended to best preserve the hand-painted finish. Avoid abrasive sponges and hard knocks against the rim.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is the Quail egg cup hand-painted, and is each piece unique?
Yes, every egg cup is painted by hand in Quail’s workshop, which means small natural variations in colour and brushstroke. No two pieces are ever 100% identical — that’s part of the charm of hand-painted ceramics.
Can the Quail egg cup go in the dishwasher?
The egg cup is dishwasher safe and food safe. However, to best preserve the hand-painted finish over time, gentle hand-washing is recommended, as repeated machine washing can wear the colours.
What is the difference between stoneware and porcelain in egg cups?
Stoneware is fired at a higher temperature than ordinary ceramics and is more robust and chip-resistant than fine porcelain. This gives Quail’s egg cups a pleasant weight and stability, keeping the egg secure at the breakfast table.
Is the Lucky Cat egg cup a good gift for cat lovers?
Yes, it’s an ideal host gift or birthday gift for cat lovers. Practical enough for daily use and personal enough to feel like more than just a kitchen item — and affordable enough to add more pieces from Quail’s range.
How big is a Quail egg cup?
The egg cup measures 9 cm in height and is sized for a standard hen’s egg. It suits both soft- and hard-boiled eggs and takes up very little space on the breakfast table or kitchen shelf.

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.
