Best Answer

Initially, cups and mugs were the primary utensils employed by civilized man. As these items where usually produced by someone other than the user, they had value and were place were they would be less likely to break. A nook up high or perhaps a wedged board placed out of the way. Eventually hooks were added and a "Cup Board" was begotten. Eventually cutlery went to a drawer and cups and plates were placed in/on the cupboard. Today the simple board is now a piece of furniture
