All that stuff is in Italy, except for what is in France. Or England. They also have the heads of many of the key figures such as Peter, Paul, and Mary Magdalene, which they bring out for special events.

The cup - said to have been used by Christ at the Last Supper - is the focus of countless legends and has been sought for centuries.
What was used in that upper room was probably just an ordinary terra cotta cup. I can't imagine the Rabbi Jesus and his talmids wandering around Galilee, Judea, and Jerusalem with a jewel encrusted and gold cladded goblet. I can just see Alfredo on the Antiques Roadshow getting told that his cup is worth only about US$150.00, although it would be worth US$500 if it hadn't been used.

“Dan Browns work of fiction, The Da Vinci Code, said the cup had been buried at Rossyln Chapel in Scotland.”
Dear Nick - read the book, see the movie, I don’t care which, in accordance with the limits of your attention span. But at least for the love of all that’s holy, get your facts straight. Brown did not say the CUP was buried. He said MARY MAGDALEN was the grail.

"What was used in that upper room was probably just an ordinary terra cotta cup. I can't imagine the Rabbi Jesus and his talmids wandering around Galilee, Judea, and Jerusalem with a jewel encrusted and gold cladded goblet."
Well, it wasn't Jesus's house. According to what I have read, it was probably Joseph of Arimathea, who was wealthy.
More importantly, the Last Supper was apparently (most likely, although this is disputed by a few) a Passover Seder meal. This meant that the finest glasses they had would have been used, as it was, well Passover. There are even special cups for the event, as there are certain legal requirements as to size (4 oz, I think). Here is a typical Passover Seder cup:

Agree but I could see some followers adding gold gilt and jewels to the "The Cup" after His death.
