Thanks! BTW, while I was reading your paper on Saturday I was trying to remember a cool chip-cut metal palm cup or something similar. I just looked it up in The Vikings by The British Museum and the Metropolitan Museum of Art (1980) - page 38, figure 14 - a Carolingian cup found in Denmark. On the opposite page is a green glass "beaker" with a tapering stem. Some more stuff found in Sweden on page 54 - big bronze vessel with Arabic script, a decorated silver bowl (quite large) and what I can only describe as a yellow coffee cup...

I am very pleased you enjoyed the dish. Can't wait to see your comments about it.
