Silver-Plated Egg Cup with Egg

This egg cup is one of a pair I recently bought from a second-hand shop, and if it looks almost too small to hold an egg, it's because of what is evidently a Lilliputian Big-Endian conspiracy: only the small end fits comfortably, thus necessitating that the would-be eater tackle the egg from the big end.
