Breakfast deserves a little ceremony. These French ceramic egg cups, finished in a simple white glaze and found in Carpentras, were made to cradle soft boiled eggs at the morning table, a ritual perfected in French kitchens throughout the twentieth century where a quick tap of a knife sliced the cap clean off and toast soldiers went straight for the yolk. Their gently flared bases and classic proportions keep things steady and unfussy, exactly as intended. Sylvie loves them lined up on a blue and white plate for an unhurried weekend breakfast with good butter, strong coffee, and a stack of toast waiting its turn.
