A stirrup cup is a traditional drinking vessel offered to guests on horseback before departure or during equestrian hunts. Originating in the 18th century, these cups were designed without handles or flat bases, requiring the drink to be consumed before the rider set off.

During the early 19th century, stirrup cups were predominantly crafted from soft-paste or hard-paste porcelain, earthenware, silver, or pewter. Porcelain examples were hand-moulded and hand-painted, often finished with gilded rims or inscriptions.

Authentic pieces display hand-painted enamel decoration, subtle moulding marks from multi-part moulds, and characteristic wear along the rim or unglazed sections. Factory marks, such as those from Derby or Staffordshire potteries, may appear near the collar or interior.

Small decorative ceramic vessels are commonly styled on mantelpieces, within glass-fronted cabinets, or atop stacked art books on sideboards. They serve as sculptural focal points in traditional, rustic, or eclectic interiors.

Preserve hand-painted porcelain by dusting gently with a soft microfibre cloth or horsehair brush. Avoid immersion in water, chemical cleaners, or abrasive sponges, as these can strip delicate enamel paint and gilded details.
