Why not start the day with something beautiful to behold? These nine egg cups are more than just useful tableware. To me, they’re little works of art that give a special touch to your breakfast table.
If you like to have your breakfast or any other meal in style and with a pinch of creativity, these egg cups might just be your thing. Browsing through our range, I spotted nine models that are both functional and aesthetically pleasing.
1. Playful
Time to blast off into the day? Then you’ll enjoy the Rocket. This egg cup brings a breath of fresh air to the breakfast table with its original, space-travel inspired look. Made from dishwasher- and break-proof die-cast zinc and finished with a durable powder coating, Rocket is designed to remain colourfast. And it’s also available in other colours and as a set.

2. Artsy
Thanks to its soft ceramic glaze and colour gradient, this Bloomingville egg cup will add a cosy atmosphere to your table. It also has a practical little dish on the side to hold your salt, eggshells or spices. The only downside? Piril needs to be washed by hand.

3. Classic
The Toppu set from Oyoy impresses with its chic striped design. Available in both caramel-rose, grey-white or black-white, these stoneware cups are a great match for any style of table decoration. Unfortunately, they’re not dishwasher-safe; instead, a gentle hand wash will preserve their beauty.

4. Minimalist
Stevns sports a simple design and clear lines. This egg cup is perfect if you appreciate simple but pretty things. Thanks to its neutral colour scheme, it goes with any type of tableware set and will let your breakfast egg take centre stage. If you can’t get enough of this style, there’s a whole tableware collection available in the same look.

5. Nostalgic
A subtle vintage vibe will for your table is guaranteed with this set of four from House Doctor. The effect glaze gives Pion a unique surface texture that makes each cup one of a kind. The interplay between the matt outside and glossy inside adds an interesting twist. Although the scratches they get over time give the design a rustic charm, this type of damage can be minimised if you wash the egg cups by hand. Available in white, black and grey and combinable any way you like.

6. Cute
This four-piece egg cup set from Liewood has cute little ears, which makes it ideal for children and adults who are young at heart. They bring subtle colours to the table and are likely to put a smile on your face. The best thing about them is that they’re made of 100 per cent silicone, which makes them unbreakable and dishwasher-safe.

7. Natural
Made from solid, FSC-certified wood and with a natural grain, the Cairn egg cup brings a natural element to the table. It has soft, round shape and two recesses – one for the egg and one for salt or pepper. Available in light and dark wood. Please keep in mind that these need to be washed by hand. If you like an organic style, you’ll find a whole product range under the name.

8. Elegant
This aluminium egg cup from Alessi reflects the balanced geometry of the egg. Inside, three curved grooves make sure the egg stays in place. Its glamorous look will add sophistication to any breakfast table – perfect for special occasions or a dose indulgence. The best news is that this cup is dishwasher-safe thanks to the sturdy aluminium.

9. Practical
The Singles set from Zone Denmark impresses with a well thought-out design: the cups are stackable and each offer space an egg, a spoon, salt and pepper or small snacks such as Parmesan cubes or olives. Another advantage: the egg cups are dishwasher-safe, available in light and dark grey or black and they’re part of a matching product range called Singles.
