The Etruscan cup made in 1786 for Queen Marie-Antoinette in the Rambouillet dairy.

The jasmine cup, intended for chocolate: slightly flared, on a small base that serves as a pedestal, called a piédouche, it is decorated with animal claws and has rolled handles that are higher than the cup.

The duck cup is small and is used to dip a sugar cube into three drops of coffee.

The same name is given to the cup that bedridden patients drink from. It has a handle for the carer and a long spout that can be slipped between the patient's lips to avoid spilling the liquid. The analogy between the spout and the bird's beak led to the name "duck". The duck was mainly made of earthenware until the end of the 20th century, when this material was replaced by plastic.

The filter or herbal tea cup is large and has a built-in filter.

The broth cup is wide and flared, with a lid and two side handles.

The moustache cup, created at the end of the 19th century, is a cup with a semi-circular inner rim. The rim has a crescent-shaped opening that prevents the liquid from reaching the hair of moustached drinkers.

We know the story of the pottery kiln from an ancient Chinese poem, the "Shuihuzhuan" (poem about the origin of objects). It reads as follows...

There was once a man named Zhou Bo, who had a son named Lu Buwei, who had a daughter named Jiang Wei.

Jiang Wei was the first person to make porcelain ware, which she then presented to her father, who liked it so much that he gave her this land, where she built a kiln and started making pots for sale, with her father's blessing (he needed the money, after all!). She sold them very well and soon became rich; however, she wanted to give something back to her parents for their generosity, so she asked her father if he would accept these two cups, which she said were the best ever made. One day Lu Buwei decided to build a kiln so that his sister, Jiang Wei, could make pots. He went into the forest to collect clay and saw beautiful pieces of glazed porcelain lying in the ground among the roots of the trees! He took them home, and the next morning he called his son, Lu Buwei, and told him to take these pieces of porcelain to make pots, and then took him to see the kiln where they had been collected.

History of the cup

Particularity of some cups

In the middle of the 18th century, manufacturers started to produce cups of different sizes: the smallest was called "mignonnette", the most common being 6 cm high. At the end of the century, cups were differentiated according to the drink.

First in Germany, then in Austria and France, porcelain factories started to make "trembling" cups deeply embedded in their high saucer, which prevented the container from slipping. It seems to be used more for chocolate and usually has a handle and sometimes a lid. 

The origin of these cups is Spanish.

The "Queen's" or breakfast cup, also known as the "milk cup", with its strict truncated cone shape and deep saucer, was invented by Sèvres for the morning breakfast, its particularity was to keep the milk hot. Some are without handles and without lid, others have one or two handles and a lid.

The "litron" cup, also called "square cup", with or without a lid, is cylindrical and has an equal diameter and height. It is the ancestor of our coffee cup. It takes its name and shape from an ancient liquid measuring vessel. This cup appeared at the Vincennes factory in 1752.
