A cup is smaller in size and appropriate for serving tea. A cup always comes with a saucer. A mug is bigger and cylinder shaped. It is also bulkier than a cup normally. Good for serving coffee.

There is a world of difference between a cup and a mug. Personally I can only drink tea out of a thin china cup!
A mug is usually cylindrical and is the same circumference all the way up, it is made of a thicker ceramic. A cup is narrow at the bottom and widens towards the top. A cup has a matching saucer to hold the tea spoon and a biscuit.

A cup is a smaller than the mug in size & volume that is held in the object. Also a cup is usually served with a saucer. A mug is also bigger than a cup & will hold more of a volume of liquid.

A cup is smaller and a mug is larger, a cup usually comes with a saucer and men usually prefer to drink from a mug. I prefer a mug myself as I love my tea in the morning.

A cup is generally accompanied by a saucer hence "a cup and saucer" and is traditionally used to sevre tea and made from bone china- where as a mug is a more modern design and is used for other beverages which are consumed in slightly larger quantities such as coffee and are now commonly mass produced cheaply

A cup traditionally has a saucer. A mug does not.
A glass is a stand alone unit.
