What Is a Wager Cup?
Also known as a wedding cup, this form originated in 16th century Germany. The double cup takes the form of a female figure in a bell-shaped skirt holding a second, smaller cup above her head. Traditionally, the groom drank from the larger cup formed by the skirt while the bride drank from the smaller cup, with the challenge being for both to finish without spilling.
