    Hi
    I’m desperately trying to find some information on this egg cup I’ve found in the attic. Anything on its history?
    I’ve managed to understand some of the markings but I don’t have any experience with antiques.
    Thanks!

    I can't say that I have ever seen a monogrammed and dated egg cup. Are the initials and date for someone in your family?

    I don't believe it is an egg cup but rather a tiny drinking cup (cordial?). Egg cups don't usually have a flared lip.
    I would love to see it cleaned up!

    Looks like a typical egg cup to me, with a nice sturdy lip - they're often monogrammed, and also a common Christening gift with a matching spoon, and sometimes a napkin ring, and/or other pieces...

    You may well be right. My egg cup collection is strictly china/pottery examples, not silver. :)
