From Wikipedia: "Wassail bowls, generally in the shape of goblets, have been preserved. The Worshipful Company of Grocers made a very elaborate one in the seventeenth century, decorated with silver."
I didn't have any silver laying around the shop, and this one is not intended for actual drinking use. The patterns on the side and on the stem were done with an ornamental lathe. A dowel of Holly was inserted into a drilled hole in the stem prior to turning, and the spiral pattern pierces through the Cocobolo into the Holly.
The wood is Cocobolo and Holly, size is 5.5" tall (actual size of a brandy snifter). Comments and critique are welcome.
