Description from the seller

Liturgy chalice in vermeil silver resting on a flared base adorned with an engraved cross. The openwork knot with stylized vegetal decoration brings a sober and modern aesthetic, typical of liturgical production from the early 20th century. The smooth gilded interior and exterior.

The visible hallmarks allow certain identification:
• the French guarantee mark with the Minerva head: sterling silver 950/1000;
• a maker's mark, unfortunately too worn to be attributed with certainty to a specific silversmith.

Very good overall condition with light micro-scratches from use and small, discreet wear to the gilding.

The photos are an integral part of the item description and complete the presentation. They allow you to assess its condition and characteristics. Please examine them carefully before any commitment.

The item will be carefully packaged and shipped with a tracking number to ensure fast and secure delivery.

Happy bidding
