Gold-Plated Brass Ciborium with Silver Embellishments and Cross-Topped Lid

For Mass, tabernacle storage, and solemn church celebrations, this ciborium holds hosts and the Blessed Sacrament.

Ciborium for Mass and Tabernacle Storage

With a capacity of approximately 300 hosts, it is intended for both everyday liturgical use and larger church celebrations. The 8.75 in (22 cm) vessel provides an elegant and dignified form for these settings. It is also intended for keeping the Eucharist in the tabernacle, while its durable brass body and careful workmanship provide the solid construction required of this sacred vessel.

The Cross, Gold Finish, and Silver Embellishments

In these Eucharistic celebrations, the cross topping the lid emphasizes the ciborium’s Eucharistic purpose. The Au 24 ct coating gives the brass a deep gold sheen, while the classic form is appropriate to the solemn setting of the liturgy.

The silver embellishment made of brass is placed at the nodus, where it creates a beautiful contrast with the smooth, gold-plated surface. This decorative element gives the harmonious form a distinctive sacred character and highlights the vessel’s elegant appearance, precise workmanship, and dignified presentation.

Handcrafted workmanship contributes to the careful finish, attention to detail, and unique artisanal character of the vessel.
