It looks like a Chalice to me.

Looks a lot like the chalice i just picked up, haven't been able to get a direct ID on it. it might just be an unnamed one.

I've been trying to get an ID for a while now, if anyone knows of a current name for it please let me know. Otherwise can I name it myself?

Do a search for Hollywood Stunner.... that should be it. There have been other names for it as well but I can't remember what they are right now...

I've looked at the names given above, and none of them seem to match up. Hollywood Stunner is probably the closest though. I'll see if I can get a better pic tomorrow.

Looks just like my Hollywood Stunner chalice. Purple with bright green eyes. Grows out more like a monticap (thin) vs the other chalice, which grow thicker and slower to grow.
