Serax Carte Blanche Porcelain Egg Cup

Product description

Small piece, fun idea. The Carte Blanche Egg Cup is a white porcelain egg cup by Annebet Philips, with a faceted body and black hand-painted lines that mark the edges rather than simply decorating the surface.

The shape comes from the same process as the rest of the Carte Blanche collection: Philips cut and folded cardboard forms, then translated that rough geometry into porcelain. At this scale, the effect is sharper. The egg cup is only 6.4 cm high, so the irregular lines and folded-looking sides do a lot of work.

Use it for soft-boiled eggs at breakfast, or place it with the Carte Blanche plates, cups, bowls, and salt and pepper set to build a table setting with the same drawn, cut-paper language. It also works well as a small graphic accent beside simpler white tableware. The hand-painted finish means small differences from piece to piece are expected. This is part of the object, not a defect.
