It depends on how you define a cup, I guess.  Most people would probably 
thing of an ornamental goblet, or something you drink your coffee out of!

If you want to link it to friendship though, then in Scotland, you get 
something called a Quaich - a friendship or loving cup!  They're shallow 
bowls, usually made of silver or pewter, with a flat handle at each 
side.  Traditionally, visitors drink their welcome and farewell from them.

 From that point of view, they tie in perfectly with Hufflepuff.
