Try a search yourself, Iargwath! The only decent thread I could find by searching for "phial" in this forum was... this one!!

I am continually baffled by my seemingly ridiculous, but entirely unshakeable image of the Phial of Galadriel. It's an hourglass (like the one at the start of Days of Our Lives), about 20 cm high and 10 cm round at the ends (if you're not using metric, you should be!). I have no idea why it should be that shape, or even what suggested that to me. But that shape it is, and I'm starting to get kind of attached to it. I think the movie version is great, though (but I was VERY disappointed not to see Sam's G Box).
