Synopsis

""Cups and Their Customs"" is a fascinating historical account of the use and symbolism of cups throughout various cultures and time periods. Written by George Edwin Roberts in 1869, the book explores the significance of cups in ancient Greece, Rome, Egypt, and China, as well as in medieval Europe and the Renaissance. Roberts delves into the various materials used to make cups, such as gold, silver, and porcelain, and the intricate designs and engravings that adorned them. He also discusses the rituals and traditions associated with drinking from cups, including toasts, libations, and ceremonial offerings. With detailed illustrations and a wealth of information, ""Cups and Their Customs"" is a must-read for anyone interested in the history of drinking vessels and their cultural significance.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

The principal object of these pages is to furnish a collection of recipes for the brewing of compound drinks, technically termed Cups, all of which have been selected with the most scrupulous attention to the rules of gastronomy, and their virtues tested and approved by repeated trials. These we are inclined to put into type, from a belief that, if they were more generally adopted, it would be the means of getting rid of a great deal of that stereotyped drinking which at present holds sway at the festive boards of England. In doing this, we have endeavoured to simplify the matter as much as possible, adding such hints and remarks as may prove serviceable to the uninitiated, whilst we have discarded a goodly number of modern compoimds as unpalatable and unscientific.
