Different design variations of egg poachers (vertical and horizontal, combined) and coddlers for one, two, and several eggs were identified. It is specified that some of them were part of the breakfast sets in accordance with the tradition of English breakfasts, as well as of the so-called shortened versions of breakfast sets in the French tradition egoist, solitaire, tete-a-tete, dejeuner, cabaret, and also represented Easter egg stands. The standard sizes of coddlers designed for different capacity volumes are considered. It is indicated that these coddlers are usually divided into the Standard Size — for one egg, the King Size — for 2 eggs, the Jumbo size — for three or four eggs, and the Maxime size — for four or six eggs. Today, these products, both vintage and modern, are in particular demand among connoisseurs of English tableware, collectors, and auctioneers. The Royal Worcester egg coddlers are especially valued, and although the company is the undisputed world’s leading manufacturer in this segment, many British fine ceramic companies? as well as Spanish and even Chinese and Japanese compete with it.
