The Agate Bowl (German: Achatschale) is a hardstone carving in the shape of a bowl cut out of a single piece of agate, possibly in the fourth century at the court of Constantine, and now displayed in the Imperial Treasury at the Hofburg Palace in Vienna, Austria. For centuries it was widely regarded as the "greatest masterpiece" and the "best and most important piece" in the collection. In 1564, Holy Roman Emperor Maximillian II and his brothers declared it by deed to be an "inalienable heirloom of the house of Austria".

| - The Agate Bowl (German: Achatschale) is a hardstone carving in the shape of a bowl cut out of a single piece of agate, possibly in the fourth century at the court of Constantine, and now displayed in the Imperial Treasury at the Hofburg Palace in Vienna, Austria. For centuries it was widely regarded as the "greatest masterpiece" and the "best and most important piece" in the collection. In 1564, Holy Roman Emperor Maximillian II and his brothers declared it by deed to be an "inalienable heirloom of the house of Austria". They valued this ancient precious stone carving, not just for its craftsmanship, but for a "natural miracle" in the stone itself that reveals a mysterious inscription—the name XRISTO (Christ) at the bottom of the bowl within the grain of the stone. It is now generally believed that the inscription inspired the legend that the bowl was the Holy Grail. The Agate Bowl is the largest carved stone bowl in the world. (en)
- Die Achatschale in der Schatzkammer der Wiener Hofburg ist eines der beiden unveräußerlichen Erbstücke des Hauses Habsburg – das andere ist das Ainkhürn. Nach dem Tod Kaiser Ferdinands I. einigte man sich darauf, dass diese beiden Stücke allen Linien gemeinsam gehören sollten und weder verkauft noch verschenkt werden dürften. Die Schale ist aus einem Stück Achat gefertigt, ihre Durchmesser sind 58 bis 58,5 cm, mit Handhaben 76 cm in Spannweite. Die Schale stammt aus dem 4. Jahrhundert. Im 18. Jahrhundert wusste man zu berichten, die Schale sei 1204 bei der Eroberung von Konstantinopel erbeutet worden und später in den Besitz Karls des Kühnen gelangt. Mit dem Burgundererbe gelangte sie in den Besitz der Habsburger. Die Quellen dazu sind verschollen. (de)
