Thanks Stefan.  The filligree along the bottom edge was the first major 
challenge.  (Modelled the whole chalice literally from the bottom up) 
Basically I isolated a 1/8th section of the repeating motif that could 
be mirrored, modelled that section manually, then mirrored the 1/8th to 
make a 1/4, the 1/4 to make a 1/2, the 1/2 to the whole, using Wings' 
"mirror" tool. There are actually two layers of filligree to reproduce 
the dense pattern in the reference, but only the outer one seems to show.
