Note:
Tumbler cups were made from the mid-17^th century, throughout the 18^th century, and occasionally later. 

These are very plain small bowl shaped drinking vessels, hammered up from a single sheet. 

The sides became thinner are they rose, leaving a heavy bottom,
so that the cup would automatically right itself.
