A cup is a vessel that is used for carrying and serving drinks and it fits into one's hands.  By using Anna Shepard's criteria, a cup is described as an open form where the height is less than the diameter.  The angle of the sides from the base are between 30 and 80 degrees.  It sometimes has a footed base.
