The history of loving cups is one that is rich in tradition: with origins as early as 1811, loving cups were customarily given for special accomplishments, as varied as weddings, athletic achievements or other competitions. In the cup's tradition, if presented to two people, each person held one of the two handles and drank from the loving cup in a symbolic union.
