45 Things With Mysterious Purposes People Couldn’t Identify

This person found a “weird cup thing” as they were going through their family’s fine China cupboards. If you’re creative enough, I bet you can think of multiple uses for this. The first thing that comes to mind is some sort of cup—but why is it shaped that way? Luckily, the people on Reddit had all the answers.

This is, in fact, a vintage teacup. It seems like drinking from this would be rather uncomfortable, but it serves an intended purpose. Apparently, you’re supposed to rest the teabag on the perforated lid, and it keeps dripping into the cup as you enjoy your hot beverage. That way, you can make the most out of every teabag.
