Antique silver liturgical chalice with patena from Portugal, dating to 1700–1750, 27 cm tall with a tulip-shaped cup, knotted stem and stepped circular foot (overall 12 cm wide), weighing 484 g, accompanied by a matching patena, with natural dark patina and worn vermeil on the cup and patena.
Description from the seller
Ancient liturgical chalice accompanied by its corresponding paten.
Details of the Set:
Chalice: Features a smooth bell-shaped cup with a gold interior, a turned stem with knots (discs), and a circular base with stepped levels. This design is characteristic of religious goldsmithing from the 18th century to the early 19th century.
Pieces with this sober typology are often registered in both Portuguese silver (with marks such as "Porto Coroa") and in Brazilian colonial or Spanish silver.
Paten: The small shallow circular plate, made of compatible metal, serves as a lid for the chalice and hosts the host during the celebration of the Eucharist.
Conservation Characteristics
The set displays a natural dark patina brought about by the oxidation of the metal over time.
The gilded finish, known as vermeil, on the cup and the paten is worn from use and cleaning over the centuries.
