Vintage Italian solid 800/1000 silver chalice, signed by a Milanese silversmith. This remarkable mid-20th-century piece consists of four removable elements for easy cleaning.
The repoussé work is exceptional: the base features four finely chased religious scenes, while the intermediate knop displays a crown of thorns motif. The cup itself is adorned with delicate vertical incisions.
Traces of vermeil gilding are visible, patinated by time. Polishing or re-gilding will restore its silver luster according to your preference.
Dimensions: height 18 cm, cup diameter 10.5 cm, base diameter 9 cm.
Solid silver weight: 390 g (406.5 g including screw).
A rare piece sought after by collectors of liturgical silver and Italian goldsmithing.
