The ciborium during Mass and in the tabernacle

As a Eucharistic vessel, it is intended to store hosts and the Blessed Sacrament during the celebration of Mass, as well as the Eucharist in the tabernacle. Its wide bowl makes it easier to place and distribute hosts, providing convenience while the liturgy is celebrated.

With a diameter of 6.25 in (16 cm), the vessel provides a spacious bowl for daily celebrations and larger church ceremonies alike. It is a dignified element of the furnishings of a church, chapel, or sacristy. Its classic, functional, and representative form also coordinates with chalices, patens, and other gold-plated liturgical vessels, creating a harmonious and solemn setting for the celebration of the Eucharist.

The decorative cross and gold finish

The fitted lid is topped with a decorative cross that emphasizes the sacred character of the vessel and its Eucharistic purpose. This detail reinforces the ciborium's role in the celebration of the Eucharist without disturbing its classic form.

Made from brass with a gold-plated finish, the vessel has a noble sheen, a careful finish, and an elegant appearance suited to the solemn character of the liturgy. Its smooth, lustrous surface reflects light, giving the piece a dignified and representative presence. The combination of durable brass, gold plating, and decorative details allows it to harmonize with the other liturgical furnishings.

The brass bowl, lid and nodus

The bowl is wide and deep, with gently rounded contours and enough space for storing hosts. Its smooth, glossy surface contributes to the vessel's elegant appearance while providing a clear, polished finish. The lid is fitted to the bowl and is completed by the cross at its top.

Below the bowl is a decorative nodus distinguished by rich ornaments with a pronounced relief texture. These decorative patterns form an elegant contrast with the vessel's smooth, gold-plated surface, giving the whole piece a harmonious and representative character. The nodus also serves as the base, allowing the ciborium to stand securely.

The spacious bowl, durable brass construction, gold-plated finish, and ornamental details make this Eucharistic vessel a practical solution for both everyday celebrations and larger church ceremonies. Its careful workmanship and classic form complement chalices, patens, and other gold-plated liturgical vessels.
