The Cup of Jamshid is a legendary cup, said to be possessed by Jamshid, one of the ancient Iranian kings.
It was said to have been filled with an elixir of immortality. It is also said that is was used for Scrying - used for Forture Telling.
Jamshid is a famous King of Iran from ancient times. He is probably best known through Ferdowis' poetry contained in the Shahnameh.
And also to some degree from the Avesta where he seems to be called Yima.
And the Iranian city of Persepolis is still told to have been originally called Takht-e Jamshid -- the thrown of Jamshid.
The Cup of Jamshid (Cup of Djemscheed or Jaam-e Jaam, in Persian: جام جم;) is a cup of divination which, in Persian Mythology, was long possessed by the rulers of ancient Persia.
The cup has also been called Jam-e Jahan nama, Jam-e Jahan Ara, Jam-e Giti nama, and Jam-e Kei- Khosrow.
The cup ("Jām") was said to be filled with an elixir of immortality and was used in scrying.
As mentioned by Ali Akbar Dehkhoda, it was believed that one could observe all the seven heavens of the universe by looking into it (از هفت فلک در او مشاهده و معاینه کردی;). It was believed to have been discovered in Persepolis in ancient times.
The whole world was said to be reflected in it, and divinations within the Cup were said to reveal deep truths. Sometimes, especially in popular depictions such as The Heroic Legend Of Arslan, the cup has been visualized as a crystal ball.
