This beautiful kingfisher novelty eggcup with his distinctive beak stands approximately 2.5 inches tall to the top of the head and takes a standard to large hen's egg - or one of my buyers uses them to hold scented/votive candles. The feathers are beautifully coloured and textured, and I now have matching cruet/salt and pepper in the new year.

This egg-cup is hand-painted ceramic in lots of vibrant colours and there is also a matching salt and pepper set. And as a bonus, this is a whistle - blow through the tail and you get a lovely trill.
