About This Piece
A French sterling silver egg cup decorated with a frieze of flowers and ribbons around the top. Classic and elegant in design, the cup features a gilt wash interior and rests on a pedestal with a stepped foot base. A lighter weight piece than most egg cups in the collection, which is reflected in the pricing — an elegant way to serve eggs at a more accessible price point.
