Dunk those toast soldiers into your morning yolk with added flair, with the help of this striking Cube egg cup from Astier de Villatte.

Votary of pre-industrial fabrication, Astier de Villatte is celebrated for being the one and only studio in Paris to hold and harbour the traditions of artisanal ceramic production. Restoring the ancestral systems of moulding and stamping, the egg cup is made using handcrafting techniques from the Middle Ages which involve moulding a handmade sheet of clay, double firing the ‘biscuit’ piece and glazing the product in white enamel – a lengthy process that requires a drying time of up to one month. Its repeating hexagonal structure evokes the geometry of the natural world, from honeycomb sheets to turtle shells and minute cell formations. Each handmade piece tells a beautiful story, it romances and imparts a sense of nostalgia into its owner. Arrange with other egg cups in the collection to breathe an air of authenticity into your breakfast setting.

Artisanal production gives each ceramic object a unique aspect, meaning products may slightly vary.
