With these dimensions I think more a chalice than a goblet, but that's just semantics, This is not about the turning it's the post work, the painting and the piercing, that's what's brought this to life,

It is a well made and thought out piece that brings together several forms of art.
Oh Lord, Lead me not into temptation…

This is beautiful. Excellent turning, piercing and painting. This looks bright clean and crisp. Very well done. Malcolm.
