  1. I will either have to meet more people who need ritual goblets or stop making them!

  2. A quotation from Omar Khayyam

    We dabble in the Qur’án now and then,
    Read, and repent, yet fall from Grace again;
    But in the goblet is engraved a text
    That greets eternally the eyes of men.
     
    قرآن که بهین کلام خوانند اورا
    گه گاه نه بر دوام خوانند اورا
    در خطِ پیاله آیتی روشن هست
    کاندر همه جا مدام خوانند اورا

    Omar Khayyám (1048-1123) Persian poet, mathematician, philosopher, astronomer [عمر خیام]
    Rubáiyát [رباعیات], Bod. # 6 [tr. Talbot (1908)]

  3. The nice thing about making a chalice is that it can be wonky and, by the time you put decorations on it, no one notices. And no one cares if its heavy because then they feel free to bang it on the table and call for more mead.
