Loving cups found in several Christian denominations that practice the lovefeast, including the Schwarzenau Brethren, Moravians, and Methodists.[2]
In addition, loving cups are found in the Celtic quaich and the French coupe de mariage.[4][5]
The Russian bratina ("fraternity cup" or "brotherhood cup") is a wine bowl also used for banquets. It is considered the "Russian version of the loving cup".[6] It is often without handles.
