Vintage English Cottage Ware 4 Egg Cups and Tray Set, Price Bros, 1940's.
Price Bros. Cottage Ware Egg Cup Set with Tray, Circa 1940s
Serve up a little English charm with your morning eggs. This delightful five-piece Price Bros. egg cup set, crafted in England circa the 1940s, features four beautifully hand-painted egg cups nestled into a matching handled tray, all created in the beloved English Cottage Ware tradition.
Each piece is decorated with whimsical thatched-roof cottages, colorful floral accents, and rustic architectural details that evoke the idyllic English countryside. Hugely popular during the mid-20th century, Cottage Ware captured the romance of village life and remains one of the most recognizable and collectible styles of English ceramics today.
Produced by the respected Price Brothers Pottery, this charming set perfectly embodies the warmth and nostalgia that made Cottage Ware a household favorite. The coordinated tray keeps the four egg cups neatly together, making the set equally practical for breakfast service or as an eye-catching display piece.
Whether you're a collector of Cottage Ware, an admirer of traditional English ceramics, or simply someone who believes breakfast should come with a touch of storybook charm, this delightful set is sure to bring a smile. As the original description perfectly puts it—it's like Downton Abbey for eggs!
