A large drinking cup or chalice, usually without handles and made of glass or metal.
From Old French 'gobelet,' possibly from 'gobe' (mouth), suggesting it was originally designed to be held in the mouth or by hand. Medieval in origin, referring to ornate drinking vessels.
Medieval goblets were status symbols—the fancier the goblet, the more important you were! Kings drank from gem-encrusted goblets while peasants used wooden cups, so the vessel itself announced your power.
