Featured 7" long green glass double chicken egg cup (hard Boled?)

This and some other things seemed to have gone nowhere on the finds thread and so I try here.
Thank you for the response on the Wiss flower trimmer!

Got this, and more, Saturday at 'good' deals.
>7" long green glass double chicken egg cup. (hard boiled egg holder?) Perfect, only manufacturer's bubble flaws. $2 Anyone know anything about it?

 

I wonder if it held S&P shakers?

 

Possibly.... But it's shaped to fit eggs.

 

Oh. Well then . . . never mind. heeheehee

 

Hi Messi,

greg

 

Have you got 2 eggs you can put in those holes for another picture? Maybe seeing actual eggs in them will make it clearer.

Morning!

 

No! Good question and I wondered too but then the S&Ps would've had bottoms that wouldn't stand on a table though they should be put back so....

 

Hi KOT,
It held egg shaped shakers. I had one in ceramic 1950s.

Hi! Same to you!
Good idea!!!!
How were the Blue Angels!!!

 

Did? So you were forced to return them to it?
Is this a repro then?

 

Hi,
Don't know if repro piece. Being glass it would be a new piece.

Not salt and pepper.
Egg holder.
Found one in pink also.
When I first looked I was thinking Swedish glass.
This one is in Amsterdam.

Ah! An egg holder for counter use, not an "egg cup" for eating the egg out of. Good find, Pat!

 

Still think it held egg shaped S & P shakers. I couldn't find one of these holding the shakers, but found several ceramic hens with the egg shaped shakers. Here is a clear glass one that the seller claims is for shakers or open salt, etc. The real eggs sitting in the hen look awkward. The cups or whatever aren't big or deep enough to be egg cups.

Welllll, I'm busy eating my words from my last reply. Here is a pink glass hen holder for 7 eggs. On closer exam the hen's head, tail feathers, etc.. appear the same as the hen in Pat's/Clutter's link.

Thanks for all! I thought eggs right off, as I said, but wondered about S&P because of 2 spaces.
My thought was that it could be S&P because rounded bases would make you return them to the chicken so...
I didn't get a single hit on eBidet for this and didn't try Etsy.
That big one is amazing!

 

don't put all your eggs in one...............ahh, never mind !

 

Just because someone on Etsy thinks it holds eggs does not make it so. My mother had an extensive collection of novelty S&P shakers. In my research when I was selling them, I didn't see this exact model, but I am 99.9999% sure it's a holder for egg-shaped S&P shakers. No way was it for real eggs. There is a Salt Shaker Collectors Society and they really helped me with some of the more unusual ones.

 

Then please explain a very similar one shown here that holds about 8 eggs please.

 

cuz they're the same size as the shakers ????
