The present was an egg laid by the past that had the future inside its shell. Zora Neale Hurston

{HISTORY}

Cracked eggs aren't always a delight, but when it comes to breakfast and your favorite soft boiled eggs these two charmers add nothing but cute character to your kitchen. Some people would call these two egg cups for their ability to securely hold a soft boiled egg. Others would call them a vase for a mini bouquet or a holder for small kitchen items like toothpicks, or demitasse spoons or fancy wands of crystalized sugar. Here in the Vintage Kitchen, we like the soft boiled idea.

A bright addition to your breakfast table, egg cups used to be available in a wide variety of interesting shapes. This mismatched set contains one egg cup with three-pronged feet and a pretty floral arrangement on both sides and another egg cup holder that iblue with ceramic flowers and embellishments. Different yet similar, these two add interest, beauty and a little personality to the table in a fresh, fun way.

Of course, they would add just as much charm to your space if they held onto a mini succulent garden or a blossom clipped from the great outdoors. They would also be just as functional as a small container for those above-mentioned picks or that mini flatware too.  Any way you choose to look at them, these small wonders from decades past are still here to be of very useful assistance in your modern-day space however you decide to incorporate them.
