L. Barth & Son cup

Description

I found this cup along with a bowl next to some dumpsters.  I don't think it's worth much, I've found out that most of the pieces like it were used in hotel dining rooms.  I would like to get some more info about it though, like what might it have been used for.

It's very tarnished, is heavier that it looks, has 2 handles - a flat bottom with a small ridge around it.  The top is smaller than the bottom. It's stamped "L Barth & Son Inc" on the bottom inside a logo and also says "New York", "5174" and "14oz."  The handles have a little bit of decorative work on the tops.
