Wrong cup. The cup at the Last Supper isn’t described.
The alabaster container of perfume was the one a woman used to anoint Jesus. (Matt. 26:7)

Watched a show that offered the idea the *challis* or cup used at the Last Supper may have been alabaster. Many jars and cups were made of alabaster and it was mined in nearby Egypt around that time. I have my doubts it was made of gold.
