Anotations

Scope note:

Ecclesiastical drinking vessels; the term is particularly used in reference to those cups used by the Protestant churches since the Reformation. The communion cup may take the form of a goblet wine cup or beaker. For other ecclesiastical drinking vessels, particularly those used by the Catholic churches and often more ornate, use "chalices (liturgical vessels)" or "communion bowls (vessels for wine)."
