The Chalice by Johann Christoph Heyne is a silver goblet with a wide, flared mouth and a slightly rounded rim. A thin line encircles the goblet about a third of the way down from the rim. The body tapers down to a narrow, ornate stem with three raised sections. The base is round and flat with a decorative edge. The goblet appears to be made of a shiny metal. The background of the image is a plain gray color, providing a neutral contrast to the goblet.
