A cheerful vintage novelty egg cup in the shape of a British Guardsman, complete with scarlet tunic, black bearskin hat and tiny rifle. Made from plastic with a removable cup section, it’s full of nostalgic charm and would look just as lovely displayed on a shelf as it would holding your Sunday breakfast egg.
With its bright colours and smiling face, this little piece has all the playful character of mid-century kitchenware and children’s tableware. A lovely gift for collectors or anyone who appreciates quirky vintage finds.
Condition Good vintage condition with age-related wear and a few small marks to the paint, consistent with use and age. Overall presents beautifully.
Why We Love It There’s something wonderfully cheerful about this little guardsman. It feels like the sort of thing that lived in a grandmother’s kitchen and made breakfast a bit more fun. Equal parts kitsch and nostalgic, it’s impossible not to smile at.
