Name for a particular collector.

[Lonnie]

Hi all, I collect wooden drinking vessels, Tankards, Chalices, Goblets, I have some absolute beauties, would anyone know if there's a name for this, I can't find one anywhere, so you A/Bers are my last hope, Also, my wife has just asked for a name for a collector of Teapots. Thanks.

Most names for collectors are made up from the appropriate Greek root word combined with the other Greek word 'phile' meaning 'lover of'. For example a collector of teddy-bears is called an arctophile from 'arktos' = a bear.
On that basis, you are lucky that the Greek word for cup/chalice is 'kylix'. So, why not call yourself a kylixophile?

[Quizmonster]

Perhaps I should have added above that the Greek for 'wood' is 'xylon'. If you want to build that in, then make yourself a xylokylixophile. Bit of a mouthful, I grant you, but pretty accurate!

I think the general name for small carved or turned wooden objects is ' Treen'.

Oops! On the same basis as above, a teapot-collector might be called a tsagierophile.

Quizmonster, I love it, thanks, a bit of a mouthful, I grant, but its noted, in case I don't find something I can get my tongue around.
