Drinking Vessels

 This is a larger pair of goblets that would be ideal for the beer or the wine drinker who doesn't want to have to keep topping up. I have been reliably informed by past customers that the wood acts as a good insulator keeping white wine, lager etc cool when drinking from them. This pair measures in at 9 1/2" (240mm) tall and will hold just under half a botlle of wine.

 This goblet is based on the designs of those used at the medieval banquets. It is made of oak and has 6 jasper cabochons around the rim.

 This is a good chunky goblet made from spalted field maple, a cousin of the sycamore family. it measures 7 3/4" (195mm) and has an inside diameter of 4 1/2" (115mm) making it a good size for beer or ales of any type.

The originals would probably be made of lignum vitae, a wood no longer available commercially. The inside has been coated with a lacquer to render it usable.  

 This lovely goblet has been hand crafted in lime and ebonised sapele.The decoration is an indian style pattern hand done in pyrography and indian ink. It is fully lacquered for use with any cool drink. It stands 8" (200mm) tall.
