[QUOTE="Brian Warshaw, post: 9423454, member: 16674"][USER=50]@say_it_slowly[/USER], It could well be 'Blanc', but it is definitely 'Mital' and I cannot see anybody mistaking an i for an e when they made the stamping punch.. I have just read that the French use 'Metal Blanc' to mean aluminium, the second most used metal after iron and its alloys. This egg cup is not made of aluminium. It is heavy for its size. It's all very confusing, especially when I thought it would be easy to find the answer. Thanks for trying. Perhaps I'll just stumble upon the answer when looking for something else.[/QUOTE]
