Egg cups come in every shape and colour possible, but how often do you get something to house the soldiers in?  Takae Mizutani, the designer of these, found you never did and she didn’t like the idea of the soldiers being neglected.  After all what is an egg without the soldiers (kind’a like a 2yr old without tantrums… where’s the fun in that?).  So she designed this fabby set where the soldiers arrive on horseback to accompany the egg perched atop a castle.  I’m liking her thinking.  The  Takae Mizutani egg cup and soldiers set is available in white or a natural sandy coloured finish and the set costs £19.50 plus £2.99 delivery.
