Description
Quail Ceramics in England is known for its sculptural animal figures, and each cat is hand-painted so that the fur tones vary from piece to piece. The stoneware is fired at high temperature, giving a solid weight — the egg won't tip under the breakfast spoon. A piece of British ceramic tradition on a breakfast table, where soft-boiled eggs get company with character.

FAQ
What is the difference between Quail egg cups and ordinary egg cups?
Quail egg cups are sculptural animal figures in stoneware, hand-painted in England with individual variations from piece to piece. Ordinary egg cups are typically uniform and mass-produced. The Quail version functions both as tableware and as a collector's item.
Are Quail egg cups dishwasher safe?
Yes, the stoneware is food safe and dishwasher safe. The hand-painted finish is preserved during normal washing, but hand-painted details may vary slightly in colour from piece to piece.
Is a Quail cat egg cup a good hostess gift for a cat lover?
Yes, it is an ideal hostess gift or birthday gift for a cat owner. The hand-painted stoneware gives a character that stands apart from standard gifts, and it can be used daily or displayed as a figurine.
What else can an egg cup be used for besides eggs?
It works well for small portions of olives, salted nuts or capers at aperitivo. It can also be used as a ring holder on the bedside table or for small tealights.
Where are Quail ceramic figures made?
Quail Ceramics is a British brand that designs and produces animal figures in stoneware. Each piece is hand-painted, which gives the characteristic variations in fur tones.

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.
