Info and features
Chalice, ciborium or paten from the “Alveolo” model, distinguished by a honeycomb motif with fully modelled bees. Each sacred vessel is entirely handmade by the artisans of Pical Arte Creazioni in Umbria: cast in brass and finished with 18 kt gold galvanization using microcasting and manual finishing; surfaces are then hand‑enameled with green leaves and bees with colored wings. The Alveolo chalice has a 10 cm cup, a flared shape and an irregular microcast base; height 28 cm and base 13 x 13.5 cm, fully 18 kt gold‑plated and enameled in the decorative areas. The Alveolo church ciborium features a 14 cm cup, overall height 22 cm and base 13 x 9.5 cm, made with the same microcast technique and hand-applied enamels. The paten displays the same honeycomb and enameled bee motif and has a diameter of 18 cm. Each church vessel is supplied in an elegant red velvet case, ideal for storage and presentation. For maintenance, clean only with a soft dry cloth; to remove fingerprints or light marks use a cloth slightly dampened with warm water and dry immediately. Avoid aggressive detergents, alcohol, abrasive substances or metal polishes that could damage the gold plating and the enamels.
