What is the cup called that kings drink out of?

The cup that a king drinks out of is known as a chalice. In addition to their association with members of the monarchy, the vessels are also a part of traditional Catholic masses for serving communion. You'll find a variety of antique chalices on 1stDibs.

Is it safe to drink out of a copper cup?

While a little copper exposure can be healthy, too much may be bad for your health and more acidic liquids can leech more copper out of the cup but this is still highly unlikely. You can also find unlined copper cups to be extra safe.
