SABLO Egg Cups by Frederike Martens for blomus

SABLO Egg Cups by Frederike Martens for blomus — Two flat stoneware egg cups with a wide base that also work as pinch dishes for sauces and salt.

Part of SABLO, Frederike Martens’ partly glazed stoneware tableware for the German design house blomus.

The Design Story

Martens reimagined the egg cup as a small plate with a nest in the middle, so egg, salt and a spoon all sit together. Martens, born in 1987, trained in Halle, Germany, as an industrial designer focused on glass and ceramics. Her work is about balance: plain, quiet forms, colors picked to last, and materials allowed to show what they are. SABLO was her debut collection for blomus.

The trick of SABLO is what is left bare. A glaze covers only part of each piece, and the rest is speckled clay that feels like fine sand. That is possible because the clay, mixed with quartz, minerals and oxides, is fired hot enough to be dense on its own. Cloud is a soft off-white with a hint of gray, Stone a pale gray with a cool blue cast, and Savannah a warm, deep yellow; on every color the bare band is a sandy beige.

Why You’ll Love It

Much steadier than a classic egg cup: the wide base won’t tip over. The rim catches the shell and a pinch of salt. On other days they hold soy sauce, olive oil or a few olives.

Made for Real Life

Dishwasher and microwave safe, according to blomus. Glaze and clay react to the kiln, so color and texture vary slightly from one piece to the next. Pairs well with the plates, espresso cups, salt & pepper set.

Why We Love It

Half glaze, half raw clay: every SABLO piece carries a little of the material it was made from. From a small town in Germany’s old steel region, the Blome family has gone from bicycle parts (1921) to metal gifts (1961) to the design label blomus (2000), still family-run in its fourth generation. LoftModern is an authorized blomus retailer.
