Prometheus Sacrifice Cup
A handmade ceramic replica of the Sacrifice Cup Rob Sollis created for Ridley Scott's Prometheus film. The Raku-fired cup features in the opening scene of the movie, where the Engineer is seen on a cliff's edge, lifting the vessel from its holder. After drinking from it, he then sacrifices himself by plunging into the deep waterfall below.
Cup diameter is 8cm and height 4.5cm. Weight of each will average: 0.15 kg, with boxed weight 0.5kg).Each cup is individually thrown and fired so variations in surface markings and tone will occur due to the individual nature of each vessel's production.
THE STORY: "Shortly after completion of my work on the Amples for the Prometheus film, Ridley Scott the Director asked me if I'd look at designing/making the Sacrifice Cup.At this stage, there were a number of crude proto types made in varying colours of glass, but he'd been unhappy with the results. I came up with several different designs, giving options in colour and style. Sonia Klaus (the set designer), Ridley Scott and I settled on the design you see here - a hand-thrown Raku-fired Cup. I used the same varionate glaze as for the Raku Ampules on the inside of the vessel and plain Raku black glaze for the outside as contrast and to give the ancient feel of the object."
