Bicoloured brass chalice "Passion of Christ", 11 in.
Chalice crafted by copper electroforming with enamel application, distinguished by a richly detailed Gothic style. The base is decorated with floral motifs and intertwined branches, enlivened by angel faces; interspersed among these elements are three scenes of the Passion of Christ: the casting of lots for his garments, Pilate washing his hands with the manuterge, and the Crucifixion.
The central node revisits the theme with angel faces flanked by instruments of the Passion such as dice, pincers, hammer and lance, ensuring continuity with the overall decoration.
The cup features a bicoloured finish: its lower section echoes the motifs of the node, while the contrast between gilded and silvered brass imparts an elegant aspect.
A chalice conceived for solemn celebrations, where every decorative element contributes to recalling the symbolic meaning of the Eucharist.
