<p>[QUOTE="ValerieK, post: 2511457, member: 7360"]I'm hoping someone will have seen one of these before, because I have been searching for months and can't find anything quite like it. It looks like a wine glass but of course the attached saucer suggests egg cup. The cup is actually a bit too big for a hen's egg, the "large" one I tried slipped down inside, but I'm guessing a bit small for a duck's egg. The nearest I can find are glass bowls with attached saucers for soft desserts, but they are much wider at the rim. The etched decoration is quite fine and rather posh for an egg cup. The saucer is shiny on the upper surface but has a frosted appearance on the base, and it has an indented mark in the base as if from a smoothed pontil, rather at odds with the frosting. Any thoughts welcome![ATTACH=full]267930[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]267931[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]267932[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
