Okay, so, late to the bandwagon and all. eternaleponine has started to get Supernatural on DVD from Netflix. I'm hooked.

I have just one question, though.

MEG'S CHALICE.

Where the hell have I seen that before?

Really, more of a bowl. And the sculpted grapes and grape leaves decorating the edge. Asymmetrical.

I want to say it's a Tiffany design? Turn of the 20th century, probably?

Normally I am very good at recognizing museum pieces when I see them in backgrounds. Like that parody of Botticelli's La Primavera behind Lord Farquad's bed in Shrek. And the Lady and the Unicorn tapestries in the Gryffindor common room, and the dear familiar Isle of Lewis chessmen for tabletop wizard chess. And how I came home from Return of the King and yanked out an old textbook and flipped right to the page with the Celtic arch with all the skulls set in it that they'd copied for the land of the dead gateway.

But I can't track Meg's chalice.

Help me out here?

I have no idea - I want to say it's the Luck of somewhere, but I don't know - but I do have to sympathise with you, considering that last night during Legend of the Seeker Peter was laughing his head off at me for being indignant that the Sutton Hoo helmet was on display in a ziggurat.

OMG

NO

Sounds like a documentary thing I was watching about the ocean and they were talking about King Canute sticking his sword in the sand and commanding the tide not to come in, etc., and I looked at the screen and said "That is NOT a Viking sword, that's a 1909 Argentine Mauser bayonet!" And then I listened to myself and said "I've been reading too many weapons catalogues, haven't I?" (Although that particular bayonet is one hell of a nice short sword, and I covet it.)
