Analysis of information sources in references of the Wikipedia article "Coffee cup" in English language version.
Large quantities of coffee pots and cups were exported from Meissen to Turkey in the 1730s. It is clear from this fact that early European porcelains were directly related to Turkish tea wares, indicating that the Turkish cup strongly influenced the manufactories of Meissen. These cups were tall in relationship to their width and were designed because of the Turkish custom of drinking the clear layer of coffee at the top. In France at the beginning of the eighteenth century, however, the drip method of extracting coffee was developed, thus eliminating the need for tall coffee cups. Perhaps as a result, the short coffee and tea cups became the signature style of Sèvres Porcelain.(16 pages)
