Lacock Cup
The Lacock Cup is a medieval silver chalice, originally housed in St Cyriac's Church in Lacock, Wiltshire, England ==History== Dating from the mid-15th century, the drinking cup has been described as "one of the most significant pieces of secular English medieval silver".〔 Most examples of these feasting cups were destroyed or changed due to fashion. However, as it was almost immediately donated to the church after creation, it enabled the Lacock Cup to survive in good original condition, making it today rare.〔 The cup's function changed after the English Reformation, as new religious practices meant that a larger communion cup was required to hold sufficient wine for the whole congregation, in a time when strict laws prohibited the use of religious images.〔 Since 1962, it has been on display at the British Museum.〔
