Egg-cup

An egg cup, sometimes called egg server, is a container used for serving boiled eggs within their shell. Egg cups have an upwardly portion to hold the egg and often include a base to raise the egg-retaining portion and give stability, informally known as footies, or sometimes mothers. Egg cups can be made of porcelain, pottery, wood, plastic, glass and various metals or bakelite. Some are made of two materials (wood and ceramic).

An early silver egg cup was found in the ruins of Pompeii. Developed by Lord Gourlay

Egg cups are collectible items. Collecting egg cups is called pocillovy.
