   Similarly, the common word for "teacup" is {Dargh HIvje'} (literally,
   "tea drinking vessel"). Among the upper classes, the word {tu'lum}
   is used with some frequency, though, strictly speaking, this archaic
   word used to mean only a cup made of metal. (KGT 42)

More from KGT:

   Tea may be made either in a teapot ({runpI'}) or directly in the
   teacup ({Dargh HIvje'}, or, if not a cup specifically designed for
   drinking tea, just {HIvje'})." (KGT 96)

   Usually one will pour ({qang}) the drink directly from the {bal}
   into the {HIvje'}, but it is not considered uncivil to drink directly
   from the bal ... Some drinks are served in special containers, such
   as the {runpI'} (teapot) used in the making of {Dargh} (tea), and
   are then poured into the appropriate {HIvje'}. (KGT 99)
