Goblet

A Goblet is an earthen ware jar used for storing water long time. It would be in an accessible but safe place in the kitchen only to be bent over to pour out the cool rain water. Many years ago, when my grandmother was alive, I could remember her giving me water from this same goblet in the picture. It was customary to use a cover the spout with a Vat 19 rum cover – many Trinis would know what I’m talking about. Even though the goblet has given way to the refrigerator, I still keep this as a souvenir of our past. This jar is more than 60 years old.

An old goblet, now a treasured souvenir.
