This sacred vessel set: chalice, covered ciborium and low covered ciborium is crafted in Italy from bicolor brass and hand-chased. Each item's base bears a chased cross motif, framed by a gilded metal border that highlights the pattern. The stem is finished with simple chased lines, while the smooth gilded knot creates a luminous focal point that harmoniously breaks the workmanship.
The cups, common to all three pieces, are hand-decorated with ears of wheat and grape clusters, engraved on silvered metal and set off by a gilded ground for an elegant contrast. The two ciboria are fitted with lids echoing the base decoration and topped with a gilded cross. A carefully detailed ensemble, rich in symbolism and ideal for accompanying any Eucharistic celebration. Chalice: height 20.5 cm; cup diameter 9 cm. Ciborium: height 23 cm; cup diameter 12 cm.
