What is the difference between a cup and a tumbler?
A tumbler is a large, wide-mouthed, drinking “glass” without a stem or foot.
Anyway, a cup and a mug are similar and have handles, but a cup normally also has a saucer.
Like other glasses, glasses are usually made of glass (although unofficially, clear plastic drinking fountains may be referred to as plastic glasses - often used where actual glass can be dangerous). A tumbler is a common medium-sized glass, usually used to hold water or soft drinks, and has no lever.
Cups or mugs are usually made of China or terra cotta, although the single-use plastic containers commonly used with drinking fountains are sometimes called cups!)
