Pair of Antique Blue Willow Ironstone Egg Cups

A charming pair of antique ironstone egg cups decorated in the classic Blue Willow pattern, with deep cobalt blue pagodas, garden landscapes, florals, and traditional geometric borders against a warm ivory ground. Their substantial ironstone construction and wonderfully aged surface give them the character that newer reproductions simply cannot replicate.

Beyond the breakfast table, these are especially fun for styling—use them on a vanity for cotton swabs and rounds, on a desk for small necessities, or tucked into a collected blue-and-white display. A fantastic little pair for an English country kitchen, traditional bath, or layered Ralph Lauren-inspired interior.

CONDITION
Antique condition with visible age and use. Miniscule chips are present along portions of the rims, along with mild crazing and other minor surface wear consistent with age.

4"H x 2.5"W

Antique.

Ironstone ceramic.

STYLING SUGGESTIONS
Style together on a marble or mahogany vanity—one holding cotton swabs and the other cotton rounds—or incorporate them into a collection of antique blue-and-white transferware. Their petite scale also makes them wonderful little vessels for rings, collar stays, matchsticks, or other small necessities.
