Chalice
The chalice (from Greek-Latin calix : beaker) is a vessel with no lid or handle, consisting of a cuppa (bowl), nodus (knob), stilus (shaft) and pes (foot).
The term is in current usage, primarily on the in the liturgy used chalice used. For other meanings the word, if it is not used poetically (also in the figurative sense for fate, divine trial), is better used in compositions (goblet, goblet shape, calyx). From the Cup , the cup is due to its ceremonial function from the cup due to the high base and the ciborium (feed cup) through the cover and its other liturgical determination. Historically, the goblet and goblet are related to the drinking bowl ( kylix ) of ancient Greece.
