    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coffee_cup

    These cups were tall due to the habit of drinking the liquid layer at the top, with the preparation sediment left at the bottom. As the drip coffee, invented in France in the 18th century, gained popularity, the need for tall cups disappeared, so Sèvres porcelain pioneered shorter cups. [2]: 232

    What many would consider to be the earliest US "tiki mugs" were ceramics in the shape of a skull or an ordinary ceramic vessel with a hula girl-related motif.

    Mugs are informal and usually sold individually; mug holds more liquid than the cup, as the latter is used in a close proximity of a teapot anyhow.

    Cups were typically made of porcelain, but also of glass and wood. However, because the holder was more visible, it was typically more heavily ornamented.
