<p>[QUOTE="Bronwen, post: 395478, member: 5833"]Welcome, Vaidas. I would describe the shape as chalice rather than goblet. Please give us the measurements. I am guessing it is for outdoor plants, not for drinking if it larger than an average drinking glass. What we do here is mainly help with describing an item correctly so the poster has good words to use for more Internet research. We do a better job if we can see more of an item than 1 photo shows.

[QUOTE="Bronwen, post: 395478, member: 5833"]Welcome, Vaidas. I would describe the shape as chalice rather than goblet. Please give us the measurements. I am guessing it is for outdoor plants, not for drinking if it larger than an average drinking glass. What we do here is mainly help with describing an item correctly so the poster has good words to use for more Internet research. We do a better job if we can see more of an item than 1 photo shows. It would help us to help you if you provide: Dimensions Photos of: [LIST] [*]the underside of the base [*]the inside [*]the other side, which appears to have more damage [*]1 of the handles showing the front of the 'seahorse'. [/LIST] What the man is wearing on his head is not consistent with Poseidon, he looks more like Ambiorix or a figure of that type. If I am correct about the purpose, some useful English/French words: planter, jardiniere, cache-pot. It was buried outside, making it very difficult to guess age.[/QUOTE]
