Italian term or phrase: coppetta
"Il gioco di cerchi e quadrati crea un assortimento dal concept moderno e minimalista, adatto anche per pietanze esotiche, per una cucina creativa. Grande piatto design su cui appoggiare coppe e ciotole. Piccoli vassoi rettangolari, completo di tazze da tè e da caffè e coppette".

"Small cups" comes up around the place, but is there something better?
