Chipped Cup

The chipped cup is an item that Belle dropped (leaving the cup chipped) while a maid for Rumplestiltskin. The cup was then taken over to Storybrooke by Rumplestiltskin when the Dark Curse was cast.

History
When Belle was taken to Rumplestiltskin's castle, she was serving him tea. When Rumplestiltskin makes a joke on 'skinning the children he captures', in surprise, she drops the cup. When she picks it up, she finds that it is chipped. She apologies to Rumplestiltskin and he says "Well, it's just a cup". When Belle kisses Rumplestiltskin to break his curse, he throws her in the dungeon and throws glass objects at the wall out of anger. When he finds the chipped cup, he picks it up, and instead of throwing it, he leaves it on the table. After Rumplestiltskin let Belle go, he replaces the chipped cup with a chalice on a display stand. ("Skin Deep")

In Storybrooke, after the curse is broken, Belle walks into Mr. Gold's office and finds that he kept the chipped cup. She is very happy that Rumplestiltskin kept something to remember her by and she decides to stay with him. ("Broken")

Trivia

 * The chipped cup in Once Upon a Time is a reference to Chip, the character in the 'Beauty and the Beast' movie.
