Bridal mug
The bridal cup or wedding cup is a drinking vessel that used to be given as a gift to young married couples for weddings .
It consists of two ornate goblets (a so-called double cup ) that are connected by a joint so that the bride and groom can drink from the double cup at the same time. The skirt of a young lady forms one cup, the second, usually smaller cup, is held by the figure above the head.
Most bridal cups are made of pewter or silver , but models made of crystal glass , ceramic and other materials are also available.
