Egg cup "conic" from the Carl Auböck workshop in Vienna

"Conic" egg cup by Carl Auböck

These iconic solid brass egg cups come from the Carl Auböck workshop in Vienna and are among the rarer design objects of Austrian mid-century design. Characteristic features are the clear design language, the subtle aesthetics of the material, and the tactile weight of the brass – an object that celebrates breakfast rituals while also serving as a collectible design piece.

The egg cups are still handcrafted today in the traditional Carl Auböck family workshop. Each surface features slight individual traces from the production and patination process – a mark of quality that emphasizes the authenticity of the material. With regular use, brass develops a vibrant patina that can be polished or intentionally preserved as desired.

Design enthusiasts:

The egg cups are suitable both as a functional table object and as a gift for discerning design enthusiasts – a piece of Austrian design history for everyday life. When combined with porcelain, glass, or wood, they create an elegant material contrast that enhances any breakfast table.
