Very strong composition. I love the detail in the goblet. Is that stained glass? Powerful image.

the slight merger on the left of the cup is distracting. Ether the whole cup should be in frame or you should have taken more of the cup out of frame. Right now it looks like an accidental merger.

Nice idea. I'm not sure I like the contrast of the very modern looking background to the antique looking goblet.

This meets the challenge - inanimate and arranged. Though it's more of a picture of a thing than of a composition of things.
