Wagenfeld applied Bauhaus principles to everyday domestic objects — the conviction that good design should be beautiful, affordable and genuinely useful. These coddlers are a precise expression of that philosophy: clear borosilicate glass, small and rounded, raised on four neat square feet, each fitted with a flat ribbed glass lid held in place by a gently undulating metal wire handle. The form is modest and considered, the glass water-clear, the metal handle a graceful flourish that makes the whole thing easy to lift from a pan of simmering water.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003ePatricia explains that you crack an egg into the coddler, set the lid on top, and lower it into hot water to cook gently — the result a perfectly set egg, contained and tender. For anyone who loves a considered breakfast or a beautifully laid table, these three coddlers would sit as happily on a kitchen shelf as in active use: a small, intelligent piece of design history that still does exactly what it was made to do.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCondition and wear consistent with age and use.\u003cbr\u003eApprox. overall 3½\" x 3½\" x 3¼\" each \u003cbr\u003eApprox. overall 9cm x 9cm x 8cm each\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Chez Pluie","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54310839714130,"sku":"25493","price":594.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1166\/6698\/files\/DSC01480_55367492-0ec4-4b45-aa8b-6d7ecc388856.jpg?v=1787230040","url":"https:\/\/www.chezpluie.com\/products\/set-of-three-french-glass-egg-coddlers-with-metal-handles","provider":"Chez Pluie","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
