White Onyx Goblet

Item Description:
This is a handcrafted goblet carved from white onyx, also known as onyx marble or calcite onyx. Onyx of this type is commonly sourced from Pakistan and used in decorative items and tableware. The goblet has a smooth, polished surface and displays the characteristic creamy translucency and veining typical of white onyx. It weighs approximately 474 grams and stands 7.6 inches tall with a 2.75-inch base and a 2.3-inch rim. The goblet holds liquids and is structurally intact aside from a small chip on the rim.

Estimated Age:
Circa 1970s–2000s, based on design and typical import periods of such stoneware into North America and Europe.

Condition:

• Overall: Good vintage condition
• Notable Issues: One small chip on the rim; no cracks or repairs
• Finish: Still retains luster; cleanly carved

Recommendations:

• Selling Tip: Emphasize the material (white onyx/calcite marble), hand-carved nature, and condition. Include weight and measurements, and mention it holds liquids—some buyers use these for ritual or decorative use.
• Professional Appraisal: Not necessary unless you acquire a full set or find provenance indicating artistic or cultural significance.
