Quail Ceramics Robin with Egg Cup, 9cm

Quail Ceramics Robin with Egg Cup combines a useful breakfast-table piece with a decorative bird ornament. The robin forms part of the egg-cup design, rather than simply decorating a conventional cup. Use it for a soft-boiled egg with buttered soldiers, then leave it on a kitchen shelf between breakfasts. Made from hand-painted stoneware, each piece has small variations in colour and detailing - an appealing gift for a bird lover.

• Hand-painted stoneware with individually detailed robin decoration
• Combines a functional egg cup with a robin ornament
• Dishwasher safe for easy cleaning after breakfast
• Attractive 9cm high at the table

Meet the maker: Quail Ceramics

Quail Ceramics brings the animal kingdom to the table, from characterful garden birds and farmyard favourites to creatures from further afield. Each piece captures the personality of its subject, with carefully painted markings, expressive faces and a playful sense of humour. These British-designed ceramics are made to be used and enjoyed, whether it's a robin holding your breakfast egg, a cow pouring milk or a pair of birds keeping salt and pepper close to hand.

Every design begins in the UK, with many original models made by traditional ceramicists in the Midlands. Quail then works closely with small family businesses in Thailand and Sri Lanka, where skilled craftspeople fire and hand-paint each piece. It's this attention to detail that gives Quail's ceramics their distinctive character, while helping keep traditional hand-painting skills alive.
