Frog egg cups


Frogs aren't the most popular animal in this egg cups' world, we know. Unlike rabbits or hens, they don't have any conceptual link with eggs, so it's understandable that they aren't featured in egg cups as often as them. What this selection wants to show is that even "secondary" animals like frogs can appear in a huge number of different models of egg cups, made in different styles, in different materials. We'll have a look at other animal egg cups another day.
