Spain’s Egg Cup Queen: 15,485 Porcelain Thrones Outnumber Campo’s Chickens

Egg cup collector María José Fuster, now crowned Guinness World Record holder, corralled 15,485 egg cups—more than Campo’s entire poultry population—into one surreal, catalogued flock. Trending queries on “Who owns the most egg cups?” and “Why do people collect egg cups?” hatch amid rows featuring Garfield, Superman, and even equine-shaped cups. “It took three hours and two witnesses to count them all,” she notes, as the collection’s neon horses and superhero faces stare blankly from their shelves.
Unlike the world’s largest dinosaur egg stash or the famed Argyle Library Egg, María’s eggshell empire now lines a Campo museum, with 1,143 cups on public display. “What is the history of egg cups?” and “Are egg cups valuable?” trend as visitors marvel at Betty Boop and equestrian-themed vessels, imagining a breakfast table where every cartoon and barnyard animal moonlights as an egg pedestal.
In July 2023, two witnesses spent over three hours in Campo’s new community center, counting every egg cup—resulting in a number that exceeds Spain’s annual hard-boiled egg festival entries.
