    Condition is Used. Shipped with USPS Priority Mail.
    Unusual Hard to find pedestal egg cup with quote from
    The House that Jack Built,
    the English nursery rhyme.
    Excellent condition with bright images.  Gold trim around top and bottom shows wear where paint has rubbed off.
    One side has the priest and the quote "This is the priest all shaven and shorn" while the other side has the cat.
    Inside of bottom is marked "Germany 162".
    Here is the verse from the rhyme depicted on the cup:
    This is the priest all shaven and shorn,
    That married the man all tatter'd and torn,
    That kissed the maiden all forlorn,
    That milked the cow with the crumpled horn,
    That tossed the dog,
    That worried the cat,
    That kill'd the rat,
    That ate the malt
    That lay in the house that Jack built.
