The Flaming Chalice is the traditional "symbol" of Unitarian Universalism. Because the U.U.s are such a small part of the religion pie chart (less than 1% of the U.S. population, I believe one of our ministers at All Souls reported), Unitarian Universalist Chalices are not mass produced and therefore there isn't a wide selection from which to chose. Many of the handmade chalices, though beautiful, are a little too ornate for my taste.
For my son's dedication gift, I got him the above footed soup bowl, which I think proves a charming alternative. Here's a link to the very mainstream store where I found it.
