Large Pewter Goblet / Chalice – hand forged

Goblets are defined here as cups similar to beakers, but with curved sides and a small stem or foot. Examples with decorated sides were popular in France and Switzerland around 1750. British goblets however are usually plain and are predominantly nineteenth century. Wine cups were used from an early period for drinking wine or “strong” ale. They resemble chalices and are often mistaken for them except they are smaller.
