Cup

A cup is a small drinking vessel with a handle, usually paired with a saucer. It differs from a mug in its smaller capacity (up to 180–250 ml) and thinner walls. History and Materials: Invention of Porcelain: The first porcelain cups appeared in China in the 6th century AD during the Tang Dynasty, when artisans began making special tea bowls. Development of the Handle: The design of the modern cup with a handle and its familiar shape was created in the 19th century by the Italian artist Luigi Tazzini. Saucer Tradition: In the 18th century in Europe, tea and coffee were poured from a cup directly into a saucer to help the beverage cool faster. Later, etiquette prohibited drinking from a saucer, but the pair remained a classic standard. Unusual Facts: Moustache Cup: In the 19th century, a special cup with an internal porcelain barrier was invented in Victorian England. This ledge protected the wax on gentlemen's mustaches from hot tea. The influence of color: Scientific studies have shown that the color of the cup alters taste perception. For example, people perceive coffee in a white cup as stronger and more aromatic than in a clear one. Espresso shape: Espresso cups are egg-shaped on the inside to preserve the dense foam (crema) of the drink.
