Royal Worcester Porcelain Egg Coddlers with Lids Retired Bird Pattern Set of Two

Vintage - dates back to the 1960' , these coddlers are in good condition, no chips or cracks, in the porcelain. Great for their intended purpose of course, but they can also be used to store baby food, or place them on your vanity for store precious items like rings. They have coddled many eggs, the inside rims show they were actually used, the tops and metal rims on the coddlers do show normal signs of wear from unscrewing the top. There is one dig on the lid of one of them and subtle signs of age. Please look at all of the pics, I took extra of the tops and rims. 2 1/2 inches tall (without the lids Top is 2 inches in diameter without the lid Egg Coddlers are manufactured in Royal Worcester fireproof hard porcelain. Porcelain is a true cookware material impervious to boiling water with excellent thermal shock resistance properties. During cooking the Egg Coddler should not be totally submerged in boiling water. Stand the Egg Coddler in a pan of boiling water taking care that the water level only reaches halfway up the porcelain body of the coddler to ensure gentle cooking of the egg. Egg Coddlers should not be used in a microwave oven or exposed to a naked flame.
