goblets

Medieval banquet drinkware

Goblets are drinking vessels with a foot and stem supporting a bowl, typically used for wine or other beverages at formal occasions.

The form suggests elegance and ceremony, distinguishing goblets from ordinary cups or glasses.

Medieval imagery often features goblets made of metal or jeweled materials, while modern goblets are usually glass or crystal.

The wedding guests raised their goblets in a toast.
