The correct use of the names of these vessels: Tankard, Mug, and Cann will allow you to sound like a true connoisseur of silver. Tankards have covers, but mugs and canns do not. Be distinctly clear that mug is the English reference and cann is the American equivalent.

It is assumed the origin of the Stirrup Cup dates to the English custom when men gathered on horseback to pack hunt. A welcome drink was a typical start to the hunting day and the classic form is easily held in the hand while on horseback (not requiring a foot) and capable of being tucked in a pocket when not in use.
