Chalice - .800 silver

Antique liturgical chalice in 800 fineness silver vermeil, repoussé and chased - Italy, 20th century

The chalice features a refined decorative motif in a neobaroque taste, with a circular foot, a central knop, and a sottocoppa richly worked in repoussé and chasing with scrolls, acanthus leaves and vegetal ornaments. The smooth gilded cup creates a pleasant contrast with the lower, silvered and decorated part.

Under the base there is the 800 hallmark, certifying the silver fineness, and a second hallmark within an elongated lozenge/cartouche, attributable to the silversmith’s mark, unfortunately partially worn and not fully legible.
