Noggin (cup)
A noggin is a small drinking cup, generally carved from the burr of a tree. The noggin was first mentioned in the mid 17th century, initially as the cup, and later coming to mean a quarter of a pint equal to a gill. Its[which?] use later spread to North America.
The origin of the name is not certain, but probably derives from nog, a strong type of ale brewed in Norfolk, England. The noggin then became a noigin (Irish) or noigean (Gaelic).
The Scandinavian guksi is a similar vessel, carved from the burl of a birch tree.
