I found all seven of these clay cups at 4 different thrift stores over the course of a week. I painted them with some gray & terrocotta spray paint and brushed on some gold leaf paint. Not bad considering none of them were over $1.00 and two were free.  |

Some are slightly smaller than others
Height - 5 1/2" - 5 1/4"
circumference - 11 1/2 " - 11"
When I saw Last Crusade in the 5th grade I was thinking it would be cool if I could find something like the grail at a thrift store. 20 years later I hit the mother load. It was the weirdest thing!
I don't really need 7 Holy Grails I guess. If I decide to sell any I'll let you know.

But choose wisely, for while the true Grail will bring you life, the false Grail will take it from you.

Remember, the one that has the LEAST amount of Gold Leaf is the one True Grail.  Elsa chose the gaudiest one for Donavon, and he withered away. |

They all had different designs on them stripes, flowers, etc.
There are about 12 thrift stores in my area and I try to hit most of them every weekend. I find some cool stuff. My brother found a pair of cavalry twill pants that look pretty close to my westeds only ther are green.
The fist two cups I found at the assistance league store. I was with my brother I walked up to the cups and said
"That looks like the cup of a carpenter"
I was wearing my Federation VI at the time my brother was cracking up.

Those look really awesome, I need to hit up the thrift stores around here. Good job! I wish I could have been at the store when you said "This looks like the cup of a carpenter" That would have been classic!
