<p>[QUOTE=&quot;ValerieK, post: 8702657, member: 7360&quot;]That&#039;s a thought, but the lid has a notch which fits perfectly over the top of the snake handle, and the size is also perfect, so I think it belongs there.&nbsp; Maybe the lid was meant to be an extra safety measure against spills on the trembleuse cup, or to keep the beverage hot for longer, or just another ornamental feature for a cup designed for the cabinet.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Thank you, a new term to research!&nbsp; I&#039;ve had a quick look and found it means that really rich, dark chocolate creamy dessert I have had in the past.&nbsp; The cups for the cold dessert as well as the hot chocolate can have one or two handles, and come with or without a lid and saucer.&nbsp; One difference is that the dessert is so rich that the cups (or little pots) are usually much smaller than my cup, just a little chocolate treat to round off a meal.&nbsp; Also, if the nodules are meant to support a filter, that would suggest a hot drink.&nbsp; Now that you&#039;ve mentioned the idea, I really do want to have a pot de creme, complete with contents, right now![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
