ABOUT PRODUCTID 30133
This set of two egg cups by HOPTIMIST was produced in Denmark in the 1970s. Crafted from glazed ceramic, the design embodies the hallmarks of Scandinavian Modernism: a minimalist, cylindrical shape with softly rounded edges and compact proportions (height 6 cm, width 5 cm, depth 5 cm). The dominant hue is a deep, saturated purple with a glossy finish, while the interior remains white. Each cup is adorned with two vertical black oval accents and a prominent spherical protrusion on the front, lending the set a playful, anthropomorphic appearance. The construction is seamless – the 'nose' element is fully integrated into the body of each cup. The set is preserved in good vintage condition, displaying only minor scratches or typical signs of use, with no cracks, chips, or repairs.These egg cups reflect the cheerful tone of Danish design from the 1970s: geometric simplicity is enlivened by whimsical detailing, as if the objects themselves invite you to breakfast with a wink. The glossy purple glaze catches the light, while the subtle 'eyes' and spherical 'nose' recall the spirit of HOPTIMIST’s iconic figurines – these pieces tell the story of an era when even everyday tableware was infused with joy and creative expression.The cups can be paired with both contemporary and classic table settings – they stand out among plain white porcelain dishes or atop a linen tablecloth in muted tones. Interiors inspired by mid-century modern or Scandinavian style will benefit from their rare, collectible accent. They may also be combined with other ceramic accessories or minimalist vessels to highlight their playful yet timeless quality.
