Here’s to Gothic Goblets
The Lord Byron Goblet: That which might once have belonged to a monk then exhumed from the grounds of his Newstead Abbey, and, filled with claret or champagne, passed around the cellar amongst his select company of friends. Authentic ‘Ivorine’ resin skull with solid cast pewter base and removable hand-fashioned pewter lining.
Some history on Lord
Byron: George Gordon Byron was a British poet and a leading figure in Romanticism. Regarded as one of the greatest European poets, he is still widely read and influential. Described by Lady Caroline Lamb as “mad, bad, and dangerous to know” he was famous for his life; extravagant living, love affairs, debts, separation, marital exploits, and so on. Byron died from a fever in Greece.
Black Death Goblet: An authentic English Middle Ages plague cross stands as tribute to the dreadfully ill-fated half of the population which suffered unimaginable horrors and inevitably succumbed in agonizing death to the inexorable bubos; with black glass goblet and vitiated, bone-resin plague skull.
