acorn cups
Nut's woody base
Acorn cups are the cap-like structures that hold acorns to oak trees—the rough, scaly bowls that remain when the nut falls or is removed.
Children use them as miniature vessels in imaginative play: She filled the acorn cups with water for her fairy tea party.
The cups are also used in crafts and natural decorations.
