goblet

Medieval banquet glass

A goblet is a drinking vessel with a stem and base, typically used for wine.

The word suggests something more formal or ceremonial than an ordinary glass—medieval banquets, communion services, ornate metalwork: He raised the silver goblet in a toast.

In fantasy contexts, goblets often appear as magical or cursed objects.
