Vintage Boxed Handmade Cascade Glass Egg Saucers (Pair)

Jon Nix — Thu, 15 Oct 2020 11:01:48 +0000

For boiled eggs with a bit of panache... a pair of vintage Cascade Glass egg saucers with a textured effect in their original box with maker's label present and intact. Each saucer has a diameter of 11.5 cm (4½ in.) and a depth of 2.5cm (1 in.) and is almost certainly based on an original Danish design used under license. These would appear to date from the 1970s.

In unused condition. The outer box has some minor signs of age and wear, but is in good cosmetic and structural condition.

Made of the finest Hong Kong plastic, this survivor of the 1970s provides breakfast with extra "BOOM! BOOM!", featuring as it does television's Basil Brush. As an egg cup no less.

In good condition aside from some slight discoloration along the plastic "seam", it's sure to raise a smile as part of a kitsch retro display or indeed at the breakfast table where you may or may not find it eminently practical.

Vintage Bobbin Egg Timer

Jon Nix — Sat, 28 Oct 2017 17:13:27 +0000

This old bobbin was made into an egg timer by Bobbin All Over The World, York sometime in the 1970s, which - according to our calculations - makes this almost a vintage antique re-purposed item! The bobbin was originally made by Dixons in England.

A good-looking decorative item or indeed a useful kitchen accessory (although please note we can't guarantee absolutely accurate time-keeping from an item which is 40+ years old!)

The bobbin measures approximately 16cm (6½ in) in height with a base diameter of 6cm (2¼ in).

A Pair of vintage Norwegian Painted Egg Cups

These quaint wooden egg cups, marked "Norge" and made in Norway, each feature a charming painted face design for "his and hers" eggs with vintage style or for simply using as decorative items with a twist.

Both are in excellent condition (see, we don't always resort to cheap puns!), and one has a rather amusing pencil mark on the underside of the base which we have left intact and which reads: "HANDS OFF MINE"!

Early 60s Egg Cup by W. Goebel

Made in 1962 in West Germany, this abstract design pottery egg cup is about as cool as an egg cup can get (possibly - we've certainly not seen one better!). It's egg-shaped in plan with a palette of browns and features a slot to store your egg spoon* in between skirmishes. Not much more to be said, really, except that if you want to eat your boiled egg with a bit of 60s style then this is the egg cup for you!

* Egg spoon not included, sorry!
