I am happy to offer a Pomona egg cup featuring both the Wilmots Early Red and Queen Of Sheba gooseberry fruits. These fruit motifs have been retired for a number of years and are now difficult to find. It is nice that both fruits have the Gooseberry name printed in script.

Sometimes these flat egg cups are used as votive candle holders, however, not recommended because it could easily get crazing from the heat.

It is in excellent minty condition. There are only a few common and minor tiny factory glaze bumps on the inside bottom.


Both Pomona Gooseberries were retired many years ago, although, used as accents on many pieces. These two fruits are now hard to find with the fruit name on the motif.
