I bought one of each egg cup to go with the treat boards. They are so well made and go so well with the boards me and kids love them! We have gone through so many plastic and ceramic egg cups but I don't have to worry about these egg cups, built to last and withstand rough kids hands.

I’ve no doubt they will become heirlooms passed down to the next generation.
Thank you.
