Cold and sunny today, with a gradual warmup starting tomorrow. I’m hearing some bird song in the morning, which is a good sign. On Monday we had high winds and lots of rain but it was warmer in the evening than it has been and the peepers reappeared. “Peepers! One night only!”
More egg cups:
A very tall egg cup on the left, handmade from a Holland Mold. It was a gift from a reader. I love that face. (Too tall for the cubbies, so it sits on a different shelf.)
Another bunny with an orange cup on his back.
One of the first egg cups in my collection. This is a rooster egg cup by Holt Howard. It was in perfect condition until it fell one day. I had to glue it back together.
One of my favorites on the left, another egg cup made for Fanny Farmer. It’s very heavy and I’ve read that it was made by McCoy – whether that’s actually true or not, I don’t know. The paint is in perfect condtion, which is very rare. And the words Fanny Farmer are inscribed on the bottom edge of the cup.
Two dogs holding up an egg cup. This one is so whimsical and the design at the top of the cup is charming.
Momma duck and babies – this one is beautifully designed and painted. The cup has a lustreware finish.
A Walking Ware clone egg cup. I have two of these, one is an actual Walking Ware cup from Carleton in England. This one isn’t, but I love it anyway.
Have to get the car inspected today. Fingers crossed! Don is leaving in just a few minutes.
Stay safe.
Happy Wednesday.
