What size egg fits in these cups?

Both the olive wood and porcelain options fit standard and large eggs comfortably. The Iittala Raami listing specifically notes it fits large eggs, so you won't need to worry about sizing for everyday shopping.

Which egg cup should I start with?

If you want something warm and tactile on the table, go with the olive wood set. For a minimal, easy-clean everyday option, the Iittala porcelain is dishwasher safe and pairs with almost any tableware.

How do I care for the olive wood egg cups?

Hand wash only, no soaking. Dry them promptly after washing. Occasional rubbing with food-grade oil keeps the wood from drying out. The listing notes hand wash only, so skip the dishwasher.

Can I use these for anything other than eggs?

They work well as small condiment holders, a spot for a pinch bowl, or even a tiny candle holder on the table. That said, they're sized for eggs, so keep expectations practical.
