Description
Quail Ceramics casts and hand-paints each piece in stoneware, so no two owls are quite the same. The little bird sits steadily with the egg cup on top, and the brushstrokes give the plumage depth and life. Quail’s animal motifs are a British classic — charmingly figurative ceramics that feel right at home on a breakfast table with character.

Care and Maintenance
Dishwasher-safe, but hand-washing is recommended to preserve the hand-painted surface for as long as possible. Avoid hard knocks against the rim.
Frequently Asked Questions
Are Quail egg cups dishwasher-safe?
Yes, the stoneware is food-safe and dishwasher-safe. However, hand-washing extends the life of the hand-painted surface, as the heat and detergent in the machine can gradually affect the colours over time.
What is the difference between stoneware and porcelain for egg cups?
Stoneware is heavier, more robust and less translucent than porcelain. This means better stability on the table and greater resistance to chipping — ideal for everyday use, while porcelain is finer and thinner.
Is a Quail owl egg cup a good christening gift?
Yes, it’s a personal gift with lasting durability. The hand-painted owl quickly becomes a fixture on the breakfast table and can accompany a child for many years as a charming reminder of the christening.
Where does Quail Ceramics come from?
Quail Ceramics is a British ceramics brand known for figurative stoneware with animal motifs. Each piece is hand-painted, and the brand has specialised in birds, rabbits and other nature motifs since the 1990s.
How do I clean hand-painted stoneware without damaging the colour?
Rinse with lukewarm water and mild washing-up liquid using a soft sponge. Avoid abrasive pads and harsh cleaning agents. In the dishwasher, select a gentle programme and place separately from heavy crockery.

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.
