As the cups were handed by servants to the riders for a parting good luck drink, there was no need for a foot to the vessel. The earliest were in silver (known as 'tot cups') and date as early as 1670, the ceramic the mask or head cups dating from c1770.The drink traditionally was port or sherry, sometimes brandy."
