    Moderne Kunst again.

    I translated the caption Moselblümchen as At the Wine Festival to try and capture the spirit of it: seems it can be the wine or the outfit or the flowers maybe round her head. Or all three.

    Josef Lieck was known for capturing “feminine beauty” which here seems to be the suggestion of what might follow the drink…

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

  3. 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)]

  4. 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.

  5. I'm behind on #wss366 again! Yesterday's word was #goblet, and today's word is #lamb. I have some reading of yesterday's offerings in the hashtag, not to mention today's ... and then I need to contribute one myself ;-)

  6. While the rest of the Better Angels finished watching the show, Mumu and Tutu prepared the Fun Meals and set the table.
    "Lunchtime!" they called.
    The Angels came running in, seated themselves, and shook out their meals.
    Bebe pointed at her cup. "Bebe wants to drink out of a #goblet!"

  9. Alight... Now for #tea bag tea that tastes like #mangos, next to a #gaiwan, on a tea preparation table, next to a Chinese kettle, and poured into an English #goblet...
    Oh, and the tea and saucer are from India.
    Did I miss any countries?

    Tea-tavern.com doesn't sell any of this except the turtle tea pet, but this tavern keep was having fun, today, okay?

  10. Gosh, wine really does taste better out of a fancy cup.

    Our friend Alex Demmerle studied with the Maestro's on Murano and gave these to us. His Brooklyn studio rent jumped suddenly to over $700 a month so he is having to relocate- same tired old story.

    I should give him a piece of neon... I keep dreaming of a "design your own cup made for a king" website to gamify glassblowing and bring different custom commissions to local cup makers.
