Skull Egg Cup
- Startling combination of eggs and a skull
- Fun, strange, and highly detailed
- Silk-screen on bone china
Everyone needs a good breakfast that includes a little protein, whether you’re up at 6 AM for a morning job before heading off to the morgue, or you’re stumbling out of bed at 3 PM after a night of rock and roll. This Skull Egg Cup by Phoebe Richardson is darkly charming for the uncommon breakfast eater.
It’s a skull on an egg cup. The white bone china egg cup itself is un-noteworthy. The skull alone would be a handsome print for an anatomist or a natural historian. Put together, it’s an odd pairing indeed. Oh, and we’d like to point out that the top of the skull has been removed. A soft-boiled egg in a cracked shell makes for a quirky crown, or a breakfast of brains, depending on your predisposition.
Maybe it’s meant to be a daily morning memo on mortality, or a harbinger of our doom. But we think it’s really just a funny little eggcup with an eerie twist. Perfect for that quirky special someone.
First things first: This rocks! Cool enough that Im a guy who worships Black Sabbath and still wears Guns and Roses shirt to a PTA meeting but I cook. I don’t just eat, I cook. So when I saw this one, My card just went ka-ching. Ideal for cool and rockin’ dads like me. I’d say I enjoy eating with rock princesses more. Humpty Dumpy never looked better than this.
Great way to make your teenagers get to eat serious breakfast first before bursting out the door. The cool, hip design just makes an uncanny but cool member of your “kitchen staff.” The design’s unique and let’s say, not so typical but that’s the fun part. How many kitchen stuff will you see out there spells “ROCK” or “UNIQUE” ? For an egg cup, Some would say, “Who cares? It’s just an egg cup?” But moms with difficult eaters does understand why we should “care.” Nevertheless, Don’t use it as an egg cup, Why not let it stand proud in your guest receiving area’s shelf of displays. I’m sure this one’s a buzz worthy item.
