history of collecting egg cups - egg cups collectors

Pocillovy is the act of collecting egg cups.  An egg cup is a container used for serving boiled eggs.  Although not much used in the United State, egg cups still remain popular at the breakfast tables inEurope.  There are many types of egg cups, some are footies, which means they have a wide base, others are know as buckets, which do not have a pedestal. They can be made of many materials including wood, glass, plastic, porcelain or metals.

The earliest images of egg cups appear in a Turkish mosaic dating to about 3AD and examples were found among the Pompeii ruins of 79AD.  It wasn’t until the late 1800’s that egg cups were produced as individual pieces of dinnerware and in most cases, silver egg cups were gilded on this inside.  These early examples of egg cups are very hard to come by because they were used as everyday dinnerware and often got chipped or broken.  The Wabash egg cup pictured above recently sold on eBay for over $760.00.

DUMB MIKEY

 

Mikey is his new girlfriend were in a heated discussion about the choice of colors in his living room.  Being as cheap as he is, the walls really are ugly colors because he was able to get huge discounts for the paint at the local hardware store.  However, on this particular morning, his girlfriend challenges him and he thinks to himself, “I’ll show her, I’ll paint the living room while she’s away at work.”

antique weather vane theft

 

It was reported this past week that a weather vane was “ripped off” (no pun intended) from the top of a barn in Waterville, Vermont.  The weather vane that had been featured in photo magazines was made to resemble the Ethan Allen Fifty, the famous Vermont Morgan horse.  Seems the theft actually occurred sometime this summer but was only noticed recently because the thieves had replaced it with a cheap replica.

Weather vane antiques are worth a lot of money on the open market these days.  This past week alone a copper weather vane that had sat atop a Rhode Island train depot sold at a Manchester, New Hampshire auction for $1.2 million, a record price for an American weather vane.  That’s enough to make thieves risk life and limb to climb a barn roof and replace an antique with an imitation. The weather vane at the Northeast Auctions was not stolen however; it had been removed from the train depot in 1971 after it was sold.

Santos are carved religious figures that have been produced since the 1500’s in Puerto Rico.  The crafters that carve these figures are called Santeros.  The carvings, usually from 8 to 20 inches tall are usually carved of wood, but have also been found made of clay, gold or stone.  The earliest figures were influenced by the island’s Spanish heritage and were ornately designed. Later the figures became simpler.
