Re: Chalice

Whoaaaaa!!!!!!! Jackpot!  Scott's right, I love this! :)  Love that handle too - in response to mcm.indigo's question, I find the handles difficult to use, actually.  My fingers just don't fit into them - the server looks to have rectified that issue with its larger openings.  Do you have the same issues with the handles nostalgiaholic?  Or do I just have fat fingers? :)

Anyway, I'm supremely jealous.  Love it.  Where'd you manage to pick this up?

Re: Chalice

<chuckle> Like Scott, I thought you would like this one, Brian.  Believe it or not, the set was an ebay sleeper.  The signature was illegible to the seller.  (Interestingly, they're marked Alice instead of Chalice--I just added the pic.)  And they traveled miraculously via parcel post, wrapped in nothing more than some newspaper.  Not one bit of damage when they arrived.

Re: the handles.  I may not be the one to ask, either, as my mitts are pretty big, too.  The mug handles aren't that comfortable, but I wasn't really expecting them to be so.  Greg, they're as chunky as they are funky.  Now, the server handle feels fine.  Plenty of room, and adequate stability.
