Vintage Art Deco Twin Egg Cup 1930s Olive Glazed

A smart little piece of 1930s breakfast tableware, with a handsome twin form and distinctive olive glaze.

This Art Deco twin egg cup combines practical domestic design with the clean lines and restrained styling of the period. Made to hold two eggs, its simple form would once have been a neat and useful addition to the breakfast table.

The olive glaze gives it a particularly pleasing period character, while the compact twin design has an understated, almost gentlemanly quality. It is the sort of everyday object that feels equally at home on a traditional breakfast table, open shelving or amongst a considered collection of vintage kitchenware.

Vintage kitchenware like this offers a small glimpse into the rituals of everyday life, when even the breakfast table was shaped by changing tastes in design and colour. Today, its age, simplicity and original purpose give it an appeal beyond its practical use.

A handsome example of 1930s domestic design, bringing a quiet touch of Art Deco style to a vintage kitchen collection.
