Alku & Unikko Egg Cup 2 Pcs

These egg cups are made of brown stoneware, which is dishwasher, oven, microwave, and freezer proof. This set includes two egg cups, one with the Alku pattern and one with the Unikko pattern.

The bean-like shapes in the Alku (beginning) design represent seeds which grow into magnificent, vigorous flowers.

Unikko was created by Maija Isola in 1964 and has since become an international icon of print design. The founder of Marimekko, Armi Ratia, believed that it was not possible to faithfully capture the true essence of real flowers in print, which is why floral prints were earlier excluded from Marimekko collections. So, Maija Isola designed Unikko to be an abstraction of a flower rather than a photorealistic rendition. Today, Unikko is a powerful emblem of joy and creativity, seamlessly integrated into Marimekko's design identity.
