i agree it looks like the gold and jewel part of the cup was added OVER a much more plainer cup.

I think that gold and jewels were added over it much later. some tests could determine the age ranges of each.

the search for a cup Jesus drank from is meaningless. what Christ did for us is what is critical.

I doubt that this is the Holy Grail.

The "grail" would be fancy as it was used for a special occasion. But, all those jewels?
It DOES have a "beaten-up" look but I DON'T think it's the Real McCoy.
Do YOU?

There is no Holy Grail...Jesus used a non-descript cup...It may have been something like a sea shell...The cup reference in the bible is more to the contents of the vessel than the actual vessel...

Leave it to the Catholic church...They invent a bejeweled golden chalice and then spend centuries looking for it...HaHa...It never existed...But I'll bet they come up with one anyway...
