Art Deco Grand Silver Chalice

Offered by: ArtDecoCollection.com

Description
This monumental French silver chalice can be a decorative piece for a table top, filled with fruit and flowers or simply as a piece to be admired. This one, in delicately hand crafterd silver is stamped on the bottom with the initials” A G ” and ” France” and it dates from the 1920s.

A chalice is a special cup of grand size used in nearly every religion on earth for a ceremonial purpose: to hold sacred wine or sacred waters, to convey a blessing and even the occasional curse. The “Silver Chalice” is also the name of a great novel, and then later a film starring Paul Newman, set in Rome with a quest by Julius Caeser to find the chalice used at the Last Supper. His orders? To seek and destroy it.
