The Court Jester, The Vessel with the Pestle and the Chalice from the Palace

replica movie prop

These are prop replicas of the Vessel with the Pestle and the Chalice from the Palace as shown in the 1955 movie "The Court Jester" starring Danny Kaye, Glynis Johns, Basil Rathbone, and Angela Lansbury.  In the scene shown, Mildred Natwick is seen placing the Pellet with the Poison in the Vessel with the Pestle. Both containers were purchased on eBay.  I modified the Vessel with the Pestle by adding the pestle to the side, matching the onscreen prop the best that I could.  "The pellet with the poison's in the vessel with the pestle; the chalice from the palace has the brew that is true!"
