Hot from the Doncaster Race Course Antiques fair today, I'm happy to present this 4 inch high fully functioning clockwork wonder. I don't think its that old, It's stamped made in China but sports a little bit of corrosion on its seams.
This early Carter Stabler and Adams egg cup is made from a light brown clay, marked with shape number 289 and /A/GE. I liked it enough to buy it despite it having a cracked rim perhaps as a result of someone missing their egg and bashing it with their spoon.
