About the Item

This exceptional vintage Elizabeth II sterling silver ciborium*/ecclesiastical chalice has a circular rounded form onto a circular knop and tapering panelled pedestal to a hexafoil shaped foot. The surface of this vintage ciborium is plain and encircled with an applied moulded girdle. This exceptional ciborium retains the original hallmarked sterling silver domed, push fit cover. The cover is surmounted with an impressive sterling silver finial comprised of a pierced cross fleury design accented with a central round cut ruby to either side, all encircled with an applied rope twist decorated border. The circular rounded knop to the pedestal is embellished with impressive panels of chased trefoil leaf motifs in addition to plain protruding lozenge segments. The shaped panelled foot is encompassed with bands of applied rope decoration and an applied moulded border to the rim. The circular drinking vessel retains the original gilt interior.
