Note: "Trembleuse or tasse trembleuse: 32 also gobelet et soucoupe enfoncé, is a drinking cup and saucer with the saucer given a raised holding area in which the cup sits more securely than in the normal style. Often the well in the saucer is in openwork, as in the Vienna example illustrated.

It was designed to allow people with a weak grip or a medical condition involving shaking or trembling hands to drink a beverage, initially tea or hot chocolate. The cup sits in a saucer with either a well, or a raised rim to prevent the liquid from spilling.: 349 Cups were designed with or without handles, and optionally a lid. They were normally sold singly, rather than in sets." - (en.wikipedia.org 28.06.2022)
