I highly doubt it. Jesus was the guy who rode into town on the back of a donkey. Doubtful He, along with the twelve, had the practice much less the wherewithal to us such a jewel encrusted goblet as a matter of what was then an otherwise ordinary meal, albeit, the last supper.

otherwise ordinary mealThere's nothing ordinary with a Passover meal! But I agree with your point, Jesus wouldn't have used such a goblet.

Not saying that “this” is the goblet, but a goblet (or pair of goblets as this may be) could’ve been adorned with gold and jewels centuries after it was made/used. Someone’s idea of embellishing to make it seem more “significant”.

I think it was a dixie cup.

Beside the point, but I was taught that riding a donkey at that time was a sign of his nobility, not poverty.
