[QUOTE="DragonflyWink, post: 406521, member: 111"]Egg shape with wide stable base - looks like an egg cup to me... Two inches in height wouldn't be at all unusual, and you don't give a diameter - I have a couple of other silver egg cups packed away, one about 2" tall, but the two I have here are early 20th century Scandinavian pieces with taller pedestal bases, only 2.5" and 2.75" tall, and both about 1.75" wide (4.5 cm), but they have sturdy rolled rims, so the inner diameters are only 4.3 and 4.2 cm, they are pictured below with regular large eggs. [ATTACH=full]141637[/ATTACH] Here is a piece similar to yours, described as 5 cm tall (just under 2"), and 4.25 cm wide, about the same as mine: [URL]http://www.lindenantiquesilver.com/current-stock/d/chinese-silver-egg-cup-with-bamboo-decoration/267618[/URL] ~Cheryl[/QUOTE]
