Public domain This work has been released into the public domain by its author, I, Flodadolf. This applies worldwide.
In some countries this may not be legally possible; if so:
I, Flodadolf grants anyone the right to use this work for any purpose, without any conditions, unless such conditions are required by law.

I took this picture more than a half-decade ago. I have no idea of the state of these goblets at this present time, but am planning another trip to Dayton, Ohio soon to visit the museum where they're displayed, and I intend to attempt a similarly-useful photograph (not easy: it is very, very dark, a flash just makes things much worse, and any attempt at real auxiliary lighting will easily disrupt the vibe for other museum-goers).

I will not ever remove or alter this photo, and it will be free and public domain forever, but I may update it with more current shots. I ask in advance that those who link to this image to find the updated version and asymptotically link their articles to it, and in particular that any print effort try to use the latest image. Any newer versions will be linked from this text in some fashion once a newer image is available, and will similarly be released into the public domain.

Attribution to flodadolf (me) would be welcome and appropriate, but it is not in any way required. This image is in the public domain, as I feel it must be: My photographic documentation efforts are absolutely dwarfed by the risk of those who these goblets represent, and it is not anyone's place to profit from their efforts unduly.
