[Magdalen] Coffee Cups vs Wine Glasses

[Lynn Ronkainen]

I was pondering while replying earlier that I rarely drink out of coffee 
cups any more - unless I'm dining out. Now I must read the data you provided 
at the link because I  imagine that the two different containers used by the 
Korean truth seekers may be nearly similar in configuration of interior of 
the bottom portion - cup and glass. A mug is nearly never a 'bowl' shape at 
the bottom, and even many of the cup/saucer combos in the USA are kind of 
funky now too, more cylindrical with a flat base, like a mug, or an unusual 
fluted shape. I do hope there are visual aids to the documentation! : )
