An Eye Cup

A couple of my friends and I met for lunch in Milford. After lunch we stopped at a few antique shops along the Delaware river. I found an eye cup at one of the shops. I remember my parents having one when I was a wee one. I remember wishing that I had one when I got something in my eye a few years ago. I don't know whatever happened to the one our family had, but I was so excited when I saw these that I succumbed to the temptation and purchased an inexpensive one. I intend to use it if need be. It is made of clear glass. They had a couple of blue glass ones but they were more expensive so I chose the clear glass eye cup which is on a pedestal. I'm not sure where I'll keep it. Perhaps I'll display it on my tea table along with the tea set, or I'll just keep it in the medicine cabinet so that it will be handy if I need it.
