CUP

ca: TASSA

es: TAZA

Cup is a drinking utensil made of china, consisting of a round, hollow ball cut in half, with a footing to balance on and a handle. It comes with a saucer, which is designed with a center the same size as the cup’s footing but a little lower; this works as a wall to stop the cup slipping when being moved. There are tea cups and coffee cups, basically the same, but coffee cups are smaller.
