What began as a humble hobby soon transformed into a full-fledged mission. The collection features egg cups shaped like animals, celebrities, landmarks, cartoon characters, and even rare handcrafted models from the 19th century — each meticulously catalogued and displayed in her custom-built exhibition room.
“Each egg cup tells a story,” she shared. “Some remind me of my travels, others of people I’ve met along the way. What started as a simple fascination has turned into a lifetime of joyful collecting.”
Guinness World Records officials verified the total count after a thorough review of the items, confirming her place in history as the official world record holder for the largest egg cup collection.
