Wellcome to Ad's eggcup collection and swappingpoint

 

Let me introduce ourselves: We are Ad and Riek Koetsier, (1951/1953), married and we have two children. We collect eggcups since 1980. I am a little more occupied with it than she is. It soon appeared we had to specialise because of the available room. That's why we focussed on pedestal eggcups, porcelain and pottery, and the result is (sep 2023) 49.700 egg cups. Many people ask: Where do you leave that amount of eggcups". We have a dining room and in there we have three showcabinets (2x2x0.2m). Two containing porcelain and one pottery. Series of a model. What rests is, sorted on model, situated in our pocillovarium (=egg cup room) which is in our build-out  former garage. There are 200 standing drawers in it in which there is room for about 70.000 egg cups.

In the beginning I wrote all the data in a paper notebook, but later on we got a personal computer. All data were placed in a database . It contains data like serial number, date of acquire, city, cost, where it is made, pattern, material and more facts interesting to remember or to sort on. On the long term this seemed not to be sufficient enough to find out wether we possess a cup. I made a convenient classification. The main classification is pottery(2) and porcelain(4). They are sub-classified in:hanging(0), embosse inside beaker(1), embosse outside beaker(2), embossed foot(3), embossed neck(4), hooked neck(5) and round neck(6). This compared with the hight of the eggcup makes the first part of the modelnumber. For example model 240056.04 means a pottery(2) eggcup with an embossed neck(4) and a hight of 56mm(56) and this model is the fourth model with these characteristics(04) but different from the three before. And we have more than one eggcup of this model, (different pattern). Do we have only one eggcup of a model, the last figures are .00. The two zeroos at place 3 and 4 can be used for a sub classification. The hight difference within one model is normaly 1 or 2 mm. We also use this classification in our cabinets. When you click on "total collection sorted on shape" below, in the exposition sector, there it is worked out.

For the sub-groups the snapshots are placed in a spreadsheet. It has the same effect as a poststampalbum and is used in detaminating new bought egg cups. It tells too where an egg cup is situated in the drawer , for the best way of comparison is the physical way.

When the collection is below thousand eggcups, one knows quite well wether a cup is in the collection.The greater the collection the greater the incertainty. That 's why it still happens we bye an eggcup we already possess. We buy collections too in which there are many duplicates off course. This fills the duplicates box. Swapping, which would be logical is not so easy, because eggcup collectors in Holland are rather anonymus. So a swapping-point on the internet is organised. I place my duplicates on this website and everybody is welcome to send his or her duplicates to me. They have a partikular exchange-value and for that value one can make a choice out of the duplicates on the website. It is necessary to make an appointment for this, because more collectors could choose at the same time the same eggcup. The eggcups we already possess are placed on the website under Swapping&sale in order to swap with another collector. We will try to refill the website to have at least 500 eggcups to be chosen. If you have nothing to swap, the cups are for sale too. Are you interested in swapping or buying click
