drinking vessels
Mugs and glasses
Drinking vessels are containers designed for holding liquids to be consumed by drinking—cups, glasses, mugs, goblets, and the like.
The term appears in formal or technical contexts where a general category is needed: The museum's collection includes drinking vessels from ancient Rome.
In everyday speech, people simply name the specific vessel.
