Featured another interesting eggcup

this was another interesting eggcup i found recently

think this one is an eggcup because an egg fits perfectly

it was the base that got me interested the most as it seems to show genuine age and crazing

would be interested to know if it speaks of a certain age/period or style ?

i think most probably a hobbyist peice, but unsure

quite cool though

any thought appreciated

 

Cute. It almost gives me an 80s Memphis vibe,but it looks older ?

 

I'd have thought 20s into 30s.

 

Yeah I agree mate, but the base looks old old

Velly odd

 

Interesting, thanks obb

 

It looks quite like these that are said to be by Christine Harris of New Zealand Studio Ceramics. If I understand correctly they would be 1990s - ish.

Thanks sis

Tis gotta be right

God knows how mine aged like it has

Musta been left in a grubby sink for 20 years

Actually prefer mine with the aging though !!

 

SO CUTE!!!! Even tho our egg cups didn't look like that, makes me think about Mom cutting the tops off our eggs, then cutting our toast into skinny slices so we could dip our toast into the runny egg in the egg cups.......YUMMMMMM!!!

 

Yeah I'm with you on that one aqui

Gonna have a coupla boiled one's on the go tomorrow

 

Well loved

 

I'd never have thought it that recent. Maybe a peroxide soak!

 

Yeah I agreez, they look the same but totally different

The ones that sis found look a bit new and naff, but they have to be the same, no denying

I always thought natural crazing took about 100 years

 

Crazing is not age dependent. I pulled this definition from a page I found on Google:

Glaze crazing or glaze crackle is a network of lines or cracks in the fired glazed surface. It happens when a glaze is under tension. A craze pattern can develop immediately after removal from the kiln or years later.

 

While we are on eggcups.I found this one a week or so ago for a few ‘cents’ Not the sort of thing I buy but still a pity there was only one.

 

Learning. Thank you
