missuscluck Posted May 22, 2008 Share Posted May 22, 2008 (edited) I am after a really nice bright chicken shaped egg holder. You know the type , looks like a sitting chicken, lid comes off and you put your eggs in. I tryed to order the M and S one but they were out of stock and then went after the Linda Barker one with the matching egg cups, had my order accepted then I got an e mail yesterday to say they could not fulfill the orders due to unprecedented demand Im not having much luck. Has anyone seen a nice one anywhere. You lot are good at chickenailia Edited June 6, 2008 by Guest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
purple hen Posted May 22, 2008 Share Posted May 22, 2008 I saw some in Lakeland this afternoon but they are just a plain creamy beige colour. I got one in a charity shop a few years ago for 50p. Val Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowy Posted May 22, 2008 Share Posted May 22, 2008 Funnily enough I picked one up in a charity shop today for £2! Plain cream and not as much detail as the Lakeland one, but a welcome addition to the kitchen all the same! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowy Posted May 22, 2008 Share Posted May 22, 2008 These are the nicest ones I've seen though, despite the price! http://www.emmabridgewater.co.uk/ProductList.aspx?cid=SHAHEN&language=en-GB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jomaxsmith Posted May 22, 2008 Share Posted May 22, 2008 I saw a very plain cream one in Homebase (of all places!) today Jo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chelsea Posted May 22, 2008 Share Posted May 22, 2008 sorry to rub it in, but I have the lovely M & S one. I cant understand why they dont stock much of their "chicken" range anymore? As I wanted to order the milk jug. I will keep an eye out though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snowy Posted May 22, 2008 Share Posted May 22, 2008 The M&S range was lovely - the kind of thing I would've started collecting if they'd kept it going Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Christian Posted May 23, 2008 Share Posted May 23, 2008 I really like Emma Bridgewater stuff but it is so expensive. I guess the hen would hold at least 10 eggs? Judging but the height/size of it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egluntyne Posted May 23, 2008 Share Posted May 23, 2008 I'm sure the M&S "Chickens" range had something similar. I've just tried *googling* it but haven't found it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dosn't look like there is much left at all in the M&S range Shame. By the time I can afford it, it will all be gone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
missuscluck Posted May 23, 2008 Author Share Posted May 23, 2008 the bridge water ones are lovley but too expensive. I would worry about using it too much in case I chipped it. They have a brown one in Oxfam but I am hanging on as I really want a bright colourd one. I have got a thing about bright china and collect chickenalia (obviously!! ) and jugs and honey pots, but I only buy bright jolly stuff. I waited too long to order the m and s one, then they were all sold out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted May 23, 2008 Share Posted May 23, 2008 I've seen the Bridgewater one in a shop in Banbury - it's quite big. I seem to remember a smaller one too, but that was about a year ago.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MedusA Posted May 24, 2008 Share Posted May 24, 2008 This is the one I bought for £1 at a car boot sale a couple of years ago. I did see a cream one in TKMaxx last time I was there, if that helps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
