Our expert's notes

“Hamlet! Think of us as of a father. For let the world take note: you are the most immediate to our throne. And with no less nobility of love than that which dearest father bears his son do I impart toward you.”

A chalice belonging to Hamlet (Mel Gibson) from the production of Franco Zeffirelli's 1990 Shakespearean drama Hamlet.

When Prince of Denmark Hamlet (Mel Gibson) returns home to find his father murdered and his mother marrying the murderer – his uncle, he vows vengeance.

Hamlet’s chalice was kept on his desk during the early scenes with King Claudius (Alan Bates). He carried it during the banquet in which The Murder of Gonzago was staged and handed it to Polonius (Ian Holm).

Made of cast resin, the medieval-style chalice consists of a large hemispherical cup with an ornate stem and rounded base. It has been realistically painted to resemble copper. Intricate Celtic-style detail surrounds the lip, with eight coloured beads embedded within, styled like precious stones. The piece has been purposely distressed to create an aged, handmade look. The base has some chipped paintwork and the piece displays minor wear from production use, but remains in very good condition.

Materials: Resin, Glass.
