What is a Goblet?

What is a Goblet?

It seems that many people have no idea what the word " goblet " sounds like. Indeed, there may not be many people who use the word "goblet" on a daily basis.
It looks like a monster that might be an enemy in Dragon Quest.
Although I named it that, I also asked the much talked about Chat GPT.

The word "goblet" comes from the English word "goblet" and generally refers to a "large cup" or "a device for pouring drinks." Goblets are often made with luxurious and decorative designs and are used on special occasions, ceremonies , and banquets. In the world of fantasy and mythology, "goblet" can also have a specific meaning. For example, the " Goblet of Fire" that appears in J.K. Rowling's novel "Harry Potter Series" is a special goblet used in the magical tournament "Triwizard Tournament" where representatives of the four major wizarding schools are selected.
Therefore, "goblet" not only has the meaning of a general container, but can also have special meaning within cultures and stories.

It seems that it is.
The convenient summary is that it is a decoratively designed device for pouring drinks.

It's important to consider what is correct, but the biggest reason I chose the name " goblet " was because of its "footed" shape. The first thing that came to mind was the championship cup of some kind of cup.

A slightly luxurious coffee cup

Goblet and wine glasses

Wine glasses, sake cups, inn trays, etc. Don't you think that stemmed items are used on special occasions? However, rather than using them on a daily basis, we tend to use them with a little care, and as a result, they end up being used less and less.

Also, when you hear the word mug, you generally think of a simple, straight, cylindrical mug with a handle. Of course, that works just fine as a tool, but I love coffee so much that I sometimes even change what I eat right before drinking it so that I can drink delicious coffee. So that it doesn't affect my sense of taste.

Since I can't drink alcohol, I spend a lot of time and money on coffee. That's why I feel a little unsatisfied when I drink from a mug that I think is just fine. Even people who drink alcohol at home are particular about the container they use, aren't they? Because it's something they use every day.
I'm sure, no, there's no doubt that the taste itself won't change, but we're not machines. The taste changes depending on our feelings. This is true. Information input through the eyes should not be underestimated.

So I made a ceramic coffee cup that has a stem like a winning cup and is easy to use on an everyday basis, and it makes me feel a little more luxurious than drinking from other mugs.

Goblet, the gap between the name and reality

There is a user who cutely shortens Goblet to " Goblet ". I felt like it had become a favorite item of that person, and it made me very happy. Although the name gives an image of something tough, it seems that many people find it cute.

There is one thing I want you to know.
The goblets are quite heavy, especially the mugs. Although it varies from one goblet to another, they weigh around 320g even when empty.

The goblet mug weighs approximately 320g

For Fire King fans, it's a little lighter than the Extra Heavy Mug . The reason is that it's thick and has legs.

The thick mug has the advantage that the mug does not cool as easily as a thinner one, making it ideal for enjoying a relaxing coffee time. Everything is made based on the standard of how to make the coffee as delicious and enjoyable as possible.

But at home, I also use it for tea, chai, cappuccino, hot milk, etc. You can use it for any drink you want to drink leisurely.
