Are you inerested in being a pocillovist? That's a collector or eggs cups and many people are interested in collecting those little egg holders around the world. Egg cups are still fairly affordable compared to other collectible item and they are fairly abundant in both quantity and variety.
One of the first things you want to do when collecing anything is to get an education concerning the styles and types of egg cups you want to collect. There have been a number of books written on the subject of pocillovy, the hobby of collecting egg cups. You can look in your local library or local bookstore for these books. You can also join a club dedicated to this hobby like the Egg Cup Collectors Club of Great Britain and gather knowledge from fellow members or from their newsletters like the "Eggcup Collectors'Corner" in the United States. In England there are also a number of egg cup collectors conventions that you can attend to learn more and see actual specimens of egg cups that will be on display.
When you first start out you can simply stop at yard sales or garage sales to find egg cups to collect. Egg cups are still fairly easy to find at these events. I know of a number of people who have built large and interesting collections through simple haggling with the folks running these sales. Some of the egg cups you still can find at these events are even vintage egg cups. If you want to get into antique egg cups then you may need to frequent estate sales, estate auctions, antique stores, collectors fairs, pawn shops or online web sites or auction sites like eBay. You never know what will show up on an eBay page these days and if you really know what you are doing you can find some great bargains. But always keep in mind that even the smallest collector fairs are worth a look as you just never know what you might find.
New collectors usually start with anything they find and thats okay. But just keep in mind that you are going to ned storage space for you collections. It is very easy to have eventually collections that house 300-500 egg cups because they are so small when you buy them but the numbers really add up! later as you decide to only collect certain styles or certain manufacturers you may want ot need to seel off part of your collection. But with prices rising in this hobby you may find your collection begins to pay for itself. Of course most collectors don't care about the money part since it becomes more of a passion but the monet part never hurts either. But just be sure you have a good education in pocillovy when you do start to get into the antique egg cups because you don't want to be parted from your hard aned money.
Collecting egg cups can be an interesting and rewarding hobby. And since egg cups can be made on wood, silver, china, porcelain, ceramic, earthenware or plastic and come in a variety of sizes and shapes you can find something unique to collect no matter where you are. And I'm sure you will enjoy being a pocillovist and you may even build up a valuable egg cup collection in the bargain
