This is some of my favorite art done in porcelain
Egg Coddlers!
(not what you were thinking?)
This is the egg coddler that started my love of this beautiful 'porcelain' art!
Made by Royal Worcester
On a trip to London, my Mom brought this back to me as a gift.
I was taken with the beauty of the design and how charming it is

The other side of the coddler shows a peach and this pattern is called Evesham. Many years later I found another one in a thrift shop and was thrilled.
Over the years I have found a few of these coddlers and if they are at a decent price, I have added them to my collection. This pattern is Birds and is also made by Royal Worcester as are most of my coddlers.
I have one by Coalport that my Mom also brought back from London and has now given me for my collection
This one is made by Wedgewood and the pattern is Charnwood. It's ring on top was broken when I rescued it from the thrift shop.
They come in a couple of sizes and here I have a larger version with the same pattern, Strawberry Fair.
The other side of the small size has this great butterfly on it!
This pattern is Woodland and is one of my favorites because of the soft colors
Fruits and flowers are very popular designs
This pattern is called Lavinia and features vines, blossoms and blackberries
The two from England were gifts and the others were all found at thrift shops, estate sales and yard sales. They are one of my favorite collections!
Egg coddlers are used to cook eggs in hot water!

They are absolutely beautiful! We were given a flan dish in the Evesham pattern as a wedding present, I cried when it broke.

Hi Linda! These little pieces are so pretty! I have seen a few of them but wouldn't know how to coddle an egg if my life depended on it! ;) Now, are you going to poke these in your little cubbies?
Be a sweetie and have a nice weekend,
Shelia ;)
Love your story and collection I see them often on Shopgoodwillcom I just checked and there is a set of two like you collect right now :) http://www.shopgoodwill.com/search/SearchKey.asp?itemTitle=egg+coddler&catid=0&sellerID=all&closed=no&minPrice=&maxPrice=&sortBy=itemEndTime&SortOrder=a&showthumbs=on
They are so pretty! Hope you have a great weekend!

They are very pretty Linda, love the birds:@)
Never heard of those, but they are really beautiful!
Linda, the Woodlands pattern is my favorite of your Egg Coddlers.
I did not know THOSE were egg coddlers. Linda I like them all - I really can't pick one over the other. What a beautiful collection. Hope all is going well. Love, sandie
Such pretty little treasures...I have never come across any while thrifting...I did remember you telling me that you collected them.
Very, very pretty, Linda! Do you ever use them? I have never had a coddled egg. I especially like the Strawberry Fair pattern. Hugs, Nellie
How delicate and beautiful, XOXO
Linda, I love your collection. As I was scrolling, I would think I had found a favorite. Then the next one was exquisite. I do like the bird one and your favorite.
have a blessed weekend. Ginger
I don't think I've ever seen an egg coddler and if I did, O probavly didn't know what it was! My fave is the bird one.
I don't know if I've ever seen one of these before...or if I have, I didn't know what it was. I sure love the sweet little birds design. They are all beautiful!
I had a couple egg coddlers at one time. But your's are exquisite! And to have some of the boxes too...awesome!
I have never heard of these. They are beautiful and I can see why you collect them. My interest is peaked.
Linda, we have a pair of the Evesham coddlers that were gifts from my mother-in-law when we first married. We've used them for almost 37 years. I think that we just might have coddled eggs for breakfast tomorrow morning. '-)
Beautiful collection! ~ Sarah
Those are all so pretty. I have never seen one before and wouldn't have known what it was if I had! Thanks for sharing them....I'll have to keep my eyes open for them when I am thrifting! I love the berries and butterflies...:)

Now that reminds me to get my egg coddler out and use it! That's a beautiful collection and they really are works of art.
You know how many dishes I have, yet not one single egg coddler. I have passed up a few, yet wonder why. Egg coddlers are so charming and I really like the one with the birds. After looking at your collection I think I will not pass one up again.
Big Hugs,
Susan and Bentley
Charming...love the bird coddler!
I can honestly say I have never seen a coddler before but I agree, they are little works of art Linda! I am partial to the butterfly one :-)
these are so pretty and I'd never heard of an egg coddler before! :)
Pretty to look at, AND I learned something because I had never even heard of an egg coddler before!!!! My, what a sheltered life I have led!
Your Egg Coddlers are beautiful Linda!! I have one from Germany stuck back in the back of my buffet. Was a gift and never used it. You have a lovely collection and well cared for!!
Hi Linda....I take it egg coddling is like poaching, right? Your collection ----and I do believe you now have a collection---of egg coddlers is very nice. Susan
Well! now I know what the two cute little things I found at the thrift store are! I thought they were special little servers for jam :) I'll enjoy them more now that you've given instructions for using them. At least I was right about one thing - they are special!
Hi Linda,
Sorry that I haven't been by to leave a comment. I've been reading your blog but skipping the comments so I can at least visit everyone.
I never knew what these were called until now. I love them and they are like little works of art and so delicate and sweet.

I'm not even sure what coddled eggs are but, cooked in these beauties, they are bound to be delicious.:)
I just placed an order off one of your ads...:))
What a pretty collection! Thanks for sharing it with us.
Hope you are enjoying the weekend.
Your egg coddlers are lovely, Linda. They make for such a pretty collection! How do you display them?
Thanks so much for joining in this week.

Love these! The patterns are just gorgeous.
Yes yes yes so beautiful I love porcelain items as well
What a collection you have, I think my favorite is the one with the birds. I have one that belonged to my grandmother.
Oh these are gorgeous!!
I do not have any egg coddlers but I have seen them before and sold them on ebay. Nice collection!

So darn pretty, love all the beautiful designs. Thanks for sharing at the Cabin:)
What a beautiful collection. I do have a few pieces of Evesham, but alas no coddlers.
