It was originally designed as a tube measuring some 11 to 12 feet in length, of narrow cylindrical bore, and played by means of a cup-shaped mouthpiece.

The fruit in some species ( particularly in the genera Ocotea and Oreodaphne ) is partly immersed or covered in a cup-shaped or deep thick cupule, which is formed from the tube of the calyx where the peduncle joins the fruit ; this gives the fruit an appearance similar to an acorn.

The alphorn or alpenhorn or alpine horn is a labrophone, consisting of a wooden natural horn of conical bore, having a wooden cup-shaped mouthpiece, used by mountain dwellers in Switzerland and elsewhere.

A cup-shaped mouthpiece carved out of a block of hard wood is added and the instrument is complete.

Haeckel portrays a concrete demonstration of his Biogenetic Law through his ‘ Gastrea ’ theory, in which he argues that the early cup-shaped gastrula stage of development is a universal feature of multi-celled animals.

They are more-or-less cup-shaped animals, ranging from in height, with sturdy lattice-like internal skeletons made up of fused spicules of silica.

Once crossed, the dikaryons are established and a second spore stage is formed, numbered " I " and called aecia, which form dikaryotic aeciospores in dry chains in inverted cup-shaped bodies embedded in host tissue.

Ascocarps come in a very large variety of shapes: cup-shaped, club-shaped, potato-like, spongy, seed-like, oozing and pimple-like, coral-like, nit-like, golf-ball-shaped, perforated tennis ball-like, cushion-shaped, plated and feathered in miniature ( Laboulbeniales ), microscopic classic Greek shield-shaped, stalked or sessile.

Water-filled copper pipes provide a cup-shaped scaffold in which the zirconia feed powder is packed, the whole contraption being wrapped with radio frequency induction coils running perpendicular to the copper pipes.

For instance, in Raphidiophrys the coat extends along the bases of the axopods, covering them with curved spicules that give them a pine-treeish look, and in Raphidiocystis there are both short cup-shaped spicules and long tubular spicules that are only a little shorter than the axopods.
