A touch of Belle Époque for breakfast - Rare WMF egg cup, ca. 1905
Immerse yourself in the elegance of a bygone era with this exquisite egg cup set from Württembergische Metallwarenfabrik (WMF). Made around 1905, this piece bears witness to the highest level of craftsmanship and functional design from the heyday of the Belle Époque.
Made from fine metal with an elegant oxidised silver finish (OX), the egg cup combines practical sophistication with timeless aesthetics. Arranged on a beautifully shaped tray, it not only contains the cup for the breakfast egg, but also a charming insert for salt and an additional tray - perfect for the egg shell or even a second egg. As a special detail, the elegantly curved handle is adorned with a holder for the matching egg spoon.
The authentic ostrich mark and the OX hallmark on the underside attest to the origin and originality of this piece of jewellery, which has an alternative illustration in the WMF catalogue from 1906 (page 259, no. 30/1). The age-appropriate patina not only lends the object character, but also emphasises its antique charm - a little journey through time that will delight connoisseurs and collectors alike.
A rare collector's item and a stylish gift - not just for Easter!
