Egg cups (in early plastics)

...our latest collection at Obsessionistas HQ. Early plastics have their own charm and with names such as Parkesine, Casein, Bakelite and Celluloid they have their own devotees too. Egg cups, being both small and single component products, are great little time capsules of an emerging industry that our modern world of consumer products is now so dependent on. We spotted these 'characters' at a local antiques centre, and so it seems that early plastic egg cups have now established themselves as our latest 'little' obsession and as such are now firmly on our collections radar. That's collecting for you... once you start you just can't stop! Another bonus of course is that they are relatively cheap to buy, oh and not forgetttng that they make your boiled eggs looks rather special too... but who needs excuses anyway?
