I hate to sound ungrateful but at $1,900 for the Flagon (which I'm sure is worth every penny) the leather one for $45 is more within what I had budgeted...
While we're on it, that is one sorry looking Chalice! I mean, isn't chalice supposed to look like a grail or something. That one looks like a Dunken Donuts coffee mug! It has all the ambiance of a parking garage...

Lemme ask you... Would you serve the Queen tea in a mortar? One with a pestle sticking out that could poke her eye out? Champagne out of a slipper is one thing. Tea out of a mortar is a horse of a different color... to mix my metaphors. While I DO think it's perfectly acceptable to serve love potions out of mortars (especially if one's name is Hecate) tea just won't do.
One more glass of Bombay Sapphire and then off to bed!
EDIT: Addendum... further looking shows a larger stein on the Palace Chalice page. A bit crude, but then, so am I.
I think I might just order this un!
