Cup Family
Large-format wine, spirit, fruit, herb, and aerated-water bowl drinks designed for social service, often elegant, cooling, and seasonally aromatic.
Origin
Thomas preserves multiple party cups tied to named people and places, showing cup service as a cosmopolitan social category rather than a mere punch variant.
