[Sca-cooks] fuddle cups

[Huette von Ahrens]

Here is another fuddling cup that I have found:

As for the book flask, if I remember correctly, its original usage was as a hand warmer.  I
believe that over the years this changed to a drinking flask.  There are also the cask jugs,
which also had its original usage as a foot warmer.
