I've put this item up for sale on ebay, started it @ $500 because I am still unsure of its value, so I guess its value is whatever someone pays for it lol
Just wanted to update you guys and thank you all for your comments on it!

thanks joe! :)
anyone have any idea of how old this might be, I know it was around in the 70s, not sure how much earlier it could be from.

may I ask what brings you to the conclusion that it maybe from the "Novy Bor" area? do the nakid women remind you of someone? or? lol

Bohemian Greek Mythology?
hmm, so this may not even be napoleon. interesting!
I really appreciate you all for commenting & look forward to more input, I will try to get some more clear pictures put up soon.
Does this appear to have any value? I know it is a beautiful piece, but do not have any clue to its true value and I can not afford to have it appraised.

I hope these are clearer than the others. last time i had the goblet in one hand the camera in the other.. this time both were on solid surface
some are still blury =\
*** END OF UPDATE**

 I've had this goblet for years now, passed on through family of a friend. The goblet is believed to be Napoleon's wedding goblet. The story I was told behind it, is that it was bought from a William Hearst auction, which he brought it from France to California. It was once appraised at around $115,000 about 10 years ago(I was told). Then, I went to a local free appraisal show and the guy said it was a reprint from the late 1980s. he said that there were 2 originally and one is in a museum in france & the other is unkown of its location. He appraised it at around$500(after looking at it for less than a minute, I was in a long line). My friend whom I received this from says there is no way this is a reprint as they remember it from before the 80s, at their grandmother's house. Recently their grandmother passed away & there were many items containing tags from the hearst sale.

 So my questions are:
What is this thing & how much is it worth lol


I've posted more pictures of the goblet here:
http://www.dawgsays.com/pictures/goblet.html
I can take more pictures if needed.

other information:
There are 2 scenes & 2 potraits on the goblet
its about 5-6inches tall & about 4-5 inches wide.
appears to be hand painted
there is no signature on it, that I can see.

I have searched all over the internet for any picture of a goblet resembling this or any art that is the same, with no luck. Hoping someone here can help clear things up. every time I walk by this thing I wonder..

any input would be greatly appreciated,
Thanks!

Maybe the glass or art will be a give-away to someone. Hopefully!  ;D
