Cabinet Cup and Saucer- 'Snipe Shooting' and 'Worm Fishing', Worcester porcelain, Chamberlain's Factory, c. 1813–16 In European porcelain, a cabinet cup is an unusually richly decorated cup, normally with a saucer, that did not form part of a tea service but was sold singly (or in a pair) to give as a present or to collectors.
Sometimes the cup and saucer are placed on the right side of the spoon, about 30 cm or 12 inches from the edge of the table. Often, in less formal settings, the napkin should be in the wine glass. However, such objects as napkin rings are very rare in the United Kingdom, Spain, Mexico, or Italy.

Vienna porcelain trembleuse cup with gallery from the du Paquier period, 1730 Gobelet et soucoupe enfoncé by Sèvres c. 1776. A trembleuse, tasse trembleuse [1]: 32 or chocolate cup, [2] is a pottery drinking cup and saucer with the saucer given a raised holding area, called the "gallery", in which the cup sits more securely than in the normal style.
The original teacup design did not have a handle or a saucer. At some point a ring-shaped cupholder appeared to protect the fingers and eventually evolved into a saucer. [3] The cups in 17th century were tiny, with the width about 2¼ inches across at the top,1¼ at the bottom, and the depth of 1½ inches. The saucers measured 4½ inches across.
