Who invented the mug？

Who invented the mug?
Mug, English mug, transliterated. The cylinder has a handle and no lid, while the office cup has a lid. It seems that the name comes from Europe, not really. The earliest mug in the world now, with a cylindrical handle, was discovered in China. It is the mug from the Neolithic period, Liangzhu culture, and pottery. Also discovered at the Erlitou site, the legendary capital of the Xia Dynasty was also made of pottery.
But it cannot be said that the mug was invented by the Chinese people. Many civilizations have independently invented this cup, and ancient Egypt and Greece had this cup. The above picture shows the mug of the Native Americans in Central America, which was invented a thousand years ago before there was any transportation between the Old and New Continents, so it must have been invented by them themselves.
These are all from the Stone Age and after the Bronze Age, we continued to produce mugs and changed them to metal. The bronze cup in Rome and the bronze goblet in China. Gu is a type of drinking vessel, with few having handles. However, although the shapes of the horns, cups, and vessels in bronze vessels are relatively complex, the main body is cylindrical with handles.
Looking back, Sassanne Cup, ancient Persia, golden. There are also Tang Dynasty golden cups, influenced by Sassanne.
The Tang Dynasty was a boundary, when porcelain began to be widely used, and at the same time, the shape similar to a mug disappeared, and Chinese people no longer used cylindrical cups with handles. There is no absoluteness in everything, such as the Yuan Dynasty Dingyao Cup, which has a handle, just like today's coffee cups.
This is the official kiln of Yongzheng, with a lid, almost the same as today's office cup. This cup is in the Shanghai Museum, and it is called a pot on the blog. In my opinion, this is a cup. These cups are still rare and rare in Chinese history. The mainstream still doesn't have a bowl shaped cup.
Western civilization has always used cups with handles, made of wood, pottery, bronze, tin, and the most outrageous ones are made of lead, which is toxic. When they cannot make porcelain, they also need to order porcelain cups with handles in China. This is very interesting. Europeans can't do it, so they go to China to buy it. Chinese people can do it, but they don't need it. Everyone can consider this question, why do Chinese people no longer use cups with handles? Put the answer at the end.
There are more types of cups in Europe than in China. For example, tall glasses for drinking red wine were also used in ancient China, but they were not used much later on. The smaller one is called a cup, while the larger one is mug, also collectively known as a cup. Cups are divided into coffee cups and tea cups, which look similar. British people are very concerned about this, and they must distinguish the psychology of declining nobles and their affectation. The difference between the two is that the tea cup is wide mouthed, the coffee cup is straight mouthed, and the tea cup likes to have a curved shape. The coffee cup is simpler in terms of flower mouth. As you can see from the picture, the same manufacturer produces coffee cups on the left and tea cups on the right.
