<p>Anyone from Virginia will tell you that Jefferson Cups are for “festive punch” but they are good for holding paper clips, too. Usually pewter, classy ones are silver (but need to be polished). They stack, are cute & relatively small. I prefer the mint julep cups - holds more, gets frosty and can be tres chic toothbrush cups or a little icy bourbon with mint! Now they are oten used to hold flowers or as bridesmaid gifts.
