Product Description
Published in 1996, this is the most comprehensive book ever on the subject. This volume lists and prices 2,438 egg cups (prices are given in both U.S. and British currency). Hundreds of items are shown in beautiful color, dozens more in black and white. Twenty-nine specialties are covered from Art Deco to Wooden Ware, with egg cups made from all kinds of materials. This book is international in scope, listing items from 34 countries. The text is well written, lively, loaded with fascinating anecdotes and background information, and contains tips on what items are "hot." 1995 price estimates are included in the book. A must for collectors!

Love this book October 29, 1998

Just found this book after buying 2 other bad privately published egg cup books that only listed author's own collection (mostly chickens) with descriptions and prices. No help. This book is very professional and actually explains the different categories of egg cups and for the first time in my 15 yrs. of collecting, I now have a good knowledge of the different types of egg cups. My humble thanks to the author
One of the few souces for a pocillovist. June 4, 1998

As a beginner pocillovist, or egg cup collector, I found this book very helpful. Its color and black and white photos were numerous and well done. I even learned that I was a pocillovist -- I never dreamed that there was a word for the hobby of collecting egg cups -- pocillovy! I only wish that the book had a detailed index. Several times I found a name imprinted on a cup and I wished I could look in an index. Instead, I had to page through sections on Specialities, then Major Producers, then Other Countries. Nevertheless, this book is a must for egg cup collectors.

This is a great book. Someone has finally separated out all the different types of egg cups that exist. A mind-boggling effort by author Blake. So helpful.... gives the reader a basic knowledge of all types of china, silver, glass, etc. ... and egg cups were made from all kinds ofmaterials. Fun reading, in layman's language, a truly wonderful book for anyone who collects any types of smalls.
