Different definitions

- Cup: A cup is a small container with a handle, often made of earthenware or porcelain, designed to hold a hot drink (coffee, tea, chocolate, milk, herbal tea, etc.).

- Mug: A large cylindrical cup with a handle. A mug is usually simpler in shape and somewhat larger than a cup. Because of this shape, the mug is a popular object to put an image on.

Expressions :

French expression “Boire la tasse” : When swimming, it sometimes happens that you involuntarily swallow water. This is called drinking the cup. The expression is a variant of the old expression "to drink from a big cup" and appeared towards the end of the 18th century and its figurative meaning is "to fail".

- It's not my cup of tea: it's not my favourite thing to do, it's not my favourite activity; this expression is a literal translation of the same expression in French ("Ce n'est pas ma tasse de thé"). Dat is niet mijn meug in Dutch.

History of the cup

Mugs

The evolution of the human species has been made through many small changes in habits and ways of acting. One of these changes is undoubtedly the way we eat and the utensils and objects we use, as we have already mentioned in our article. Kitchen items have diversified over time according to cultures and needs.

The mug is one of those illustrious everyday objects that have a history and whose usefulness is no longer in question.

The mug is now tending to be rivalled by the mug, which is a large, much more fashionable cup used without a saucer.

A mug is a large cylindrical container with a handle, used without a saucer, which looks similar to a mug and is used for drinking or measuring in Europe and Quebec, and only for drinking hot liquids in North America.

A mug can also be made of clay, glass or enamelled metal.

Its use varies from region to region and it can be decorated and personalised as desired. You can therefore offer or buy a mug personalised with your company logo, to drink a cup of coffee while motivating yourself at work.

A mug has the particularity of being able to be decorated according to one's taste and wishes. They are available in different sizes and formats, as well as in different colours.

Vintage mug with...

History of the cup

Expensive beverages, tea, coffee and chocolate give rise to services that are mainly used for consumption but also dedicated to collectors' items, without it always being possible to distinguish the different uses. The size of the services also varies, and the pieces that make up the services are made using multiple techniques that fall under the heading of goldsmithing or ceramics.

The earliest known example of a pottery vessel capable of keeping a liquid hot or cold is an ancient Chinese pottery jar dating from the Tang Dynasty (618-907). A scholar, Xu Xiake, mentioned the origin of porcelain in his book "Zhongguo chuantong shi" (中國出现的歷史), published in the 1730s, which describes that Emperor Muzong of the Tang Dynasty ordered the creation of high quality porcelain during the reign of Empress Wu Zetian, who was also the Emperor's wife.

We have no idea how old these ceramic cups are, but they have certainly been around for a long time! They were made in China during the Tang Dynasty (618-907 AD), and by that time there were already about 20 different types of ceramic cups on the market; in addition, there were many others made by potters, all of whom used clay from different sources in the country, with varying degrees of skill and quality control!

Oracle

It can be said that an oracle is someone who calls himself divine and practices divination.Divination is the ability to augur, to predict, to speculate, to foresee events that could happen in the future. The oracle transmitted predictions that are most often peremptory and absolute... The oracles date back to ancient Greece and Zeus was undoubtedly the first oracle in history. By extension, it can be said that the prophets, in the Judeo-Christian tradition, were oracles who brought divine messages from God.

Our game is based on the same principle of transmitting divinatory messages. However, with our Oracle, we talk more about fun than about real divinatory messages. Our Oracle allows you to have fun without any pretension and thanks to chance... The goal here is only to have fun thanks to a big magnetic ball which stops on a funny and not serious answer to a question you ask. Will I win the lottery in the next draw?

Are you finally going to clean your desk? Will I meet the woman of my life? Will I win the most beautiful cat competition? The answers are far from serious. This game is an unusual gift idea, a Kdo idea for a teenager, for the office, an original gift idea for a woman, a man or for whomever you want.

Birthday theme mug to...

A birth day is a very important celebration for all of us. On this day we are the heroes of the day. Originally (and still in some families and peoples), the birthday boy or girl gave presents to his or her parents (especially to the mother) to thank them for giving birth to him or her. Since the Middle Ages, it was the birthday person who organised the festive meal, so each guest brought a share of the meal. Later on, as not everyone worked in the catering industry, everyone brought the birthday boy or girl something from their own production. Today, giving a birthday present has become a custom and an occasion to show affection to a relative, friend or colleague. But what gift should you give to a friend, grandmother or colleague? We suggest a nice little gift: a personalised mug with a personal photo or a message of your own invention. For example: For the best granny in the world. To my lifelong friend. To the funniest colleague, "It's the crisis, everything is increasing, even your age", "50 years old = 30 years + 20 years of experience" or any other message... It's up to you to choose or to find the message that best suits the person concerned. The originality of the mug is its decoration inside, a special colourful and nice birthday decoration. An original birthday gift, a personalised birthday mug proposed by Gifts-custopolis.com

Himalayan salt crystal...

What is a salt stone lamp?

Have you heard of salt stone lamps (and candle holders)? A unique and comforting decoration to create a warm atmosphere in your home.

The lamp is suitable as an accent light in a bedroom or living room. Its purpose is not to illuminate the room, but to give a feeling of well-being.

They are thought to purify the air and, due to the emission of negative ions, they partially neutralise the action of electromagnetic radiation and help combat insomnia. The salt crystals emit negative ions, an effect that is increased by the heat generated by the lamp. These negative ions will then counteract the positive ions, naturally present in the atmosphere due to air pollution. The lamp will then have a cleansing effect.

Although they are safe, there are few scientific studies showing that salt lamps have any real effects on health. However, users report that they have a real impact on their stress levels.

Salt lamps are ideal for improving well-being. Their orange light is relaxing. In chromotherapy, the colour orange promotes reconnection between body and mind and soothes us. They are recommended during a meditation or yoga session to create a relaxing environment. They are also calming when working at the computer.

Receive a lamp or a candle holder in salt of the himalaya via Gifts-custopolis.com it is very pleasant, whatever the object in salt of the himalaya, it will bring you a good being of which it will be difficult to do without and which will decorate perfectly all the interiors. It is thus the gift to be offered or to be acquired, a unique home decor, home decorating ideas, the idea for a trendy gift

White mug with artwork

History of the cup

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.
