Handles

[edit]
Minoan pottery cups (Kamares Ware, 1800-1700 BC) at the Heraklion Archaeological Museum

Tea came from the East, so did the teacups. These vessels indeed did not have handles originally. However, the handles on regular-looking cups were known way before the Greeks and Romans, in 1700 BC, not AD, see the illustration (the researchers use the teacup terminology WRT to these artefacts). I suggest removing the current oddly-specific and simultaneously generic phrase about the handles being an invention by Johann Friedrich Böttger, as it can be confusing and is not reliably sourced.
