ceramic cup

Fired clay drinkware

A ceramic cup is a drinking vessel made from fired clay, typically glazed for durability and water resistance.

The term distinguishes it from cups made of glass, metal, plastic, or paper: I prefer drinking my coffee from a ceramic cup.

Ceramic cups retain heat well and are common for hot beverages.
