This exceptional two piece vintage sterling silver communion set consists of a chalice and paten/diskos.
The silver chalice has a circular rounded form to a knopped pedestal and spreading circular foot.
The paten has a plain circular form to a plain circular sunken well.
The surface of the paten and chalice have a subtle planished finish.
The underside of the chalice foot bears the engraved inscription 'To the glory of God and in abiding memory of Austen D. Norton, March 3rd 1967'*.
The drinking vessel of the chalice retains the original gilding.
This exceptional communion set is a large example for its type.
This planished silver chalice and paten set is a profound gift for sacred milestones, suited to ordinations, church anniversaries, clergy retirements or memorial dedications. Meticulously crafted, it endures as a timeless symbol of faith and devotion.
