The chalices cup is made of silver, and the foot and the stem are metal. The paten which comes with it bears no hallmarks, but it has been tested and we can tell it is made of solid silver. Both pieces have a fine gilt finish, well preserved. The chalice shows a great-looking design with hand-engraved lobed foot, stem and subcup, adorned with floral motifs. The three parts bear embedded faux precious stones (rubies, topazes and emeralds) which create a magnificent display of colors over the golden surface.
