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.

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.

History of the cup Long ago, before we had cups or even pots, people drank from clay calabashes or jars that they made themselves by hand using the local materials available at the time. No wonder it took them so long to invent a pottery vessel that could keep a liquid hot or cold without burning up! As to who actually invented the cup, it is not entirely clear! But it was in ancient times that pottery cups were used for drinking water and other beverages in Asia and Africa, as well as in Europe and North America. The oldest cups found in different parts of the world are clay vessels that were discovered in Egypt during excavations conducted between 1933 and 1938 by the archaeologist Amelia Biliotti. They date back to 4000 BC and have certain similarities with today's ceramic cups. In ancient times, drinking vessels were mainly used to store water, not to drink it, as most modern glasses are today! The cup used to be made of wood in the countryside, and of thick earthenware in the cabarets where it was often decorated with floral motifs.

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.
