Why do they call it a loving cup?
1 Answer
A loving cup was originally a drinking cup that was designed to be shared at banquets, weddings and other celebrations. It featured two handles to make it easier to pass along. Cups would also be used as trophies, and led to the classic double-handled cup trophy shape. Shop an array of loving cups from top sellers on 1stDibs.
