A noggin is a small drinking cup, generally carved from the burr of a tree.
The noggin was first mentioned in the mid 17th century, initially as the cup, and later coming to mean a quarter of a pint[1] equal to a gill.
The origin of the name is not certain, but probably derives from nog, a strong type of ale brewed in Norfolk, England.
[3] The Scandinavian guksi is a similar vessel, carved from the burl of a birch tree.
